Answer:
Interest receivable $600
Explanation:
The interest is just for 9 months and the cash for the interest has not been received yet, so debit Interest Receivable.
Interest is calculated using the formula:
interest=Principal x rate x time
$16,000 x 5% x 9/12 = $600
Interest Revenue would be credited for $600, but that is reported on the Income Statement, not the Balance Sheet.
