In the trial balance for march, you see that notes receivable-fast feet co. has a negative balance of $135, which would seem to indicate that fast feet paid too much. looking back through the journal entries for march, you find that on march 19 the accounting intern recorded receipt of $4,635 in payment of this note receivable. further investigation reveals that on november 19, 20y7, this note receivable was received from fast feet co. for $4,500. you can find no additional information about this note in the accounting records. assume a 360 day year. using the preceding information, compute the term and the interest rate of the note receivable from fast feet.1. term of the note: . interest rate of the note: %3. journalize the entry needed to record information about the note receivable from fast feet for the year

Explanation:

1. The computation of the term of the note is shown below:

It is computed from the November 19 to March 19

So,

November - 11 days

December - 31 days

January - 31 days

February - 28 days

March - 19 days

Total - 120 days

2. In this part, we apply the simple interest formula which is shown below:

Simple interest = Principal × interest rate × (number of days ÷ total number of days in a year)

$135 = $4,500 × interest rate × 120 days ÷ 360 days

$135 = $4,500 × interest rate × 0.3333

So, the interest rate is 9%

We assume the 360 days in a year

And, the simple interest is computed by $4,635 - $4,500 = $135

3. The journal entry is shown below:

Interest expense A/c Dr

      To Interest payable

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= November note receivable × interest rate × (number of days ÷ total number of days in a year)

= $4,500 × 9% × 42 days ÷ 360 days

= $47.25

We assume the entry is made on November 19 and the books are closed on December 31

So, the 42 days would be 11 days of November and 31 days of December
