Answer:

31 Dec  Interest receivable               3200 Dr

                     Interest revenue               3200 Cr

Explanation:

The interest on note receivable is an income. The accrual principle says that the revenues and expenses for one period should be recorded in that period. So the interest related to the period from September to December, 4 months, should be recorded as interest revenue and interest receivable.

The interest for 4 months is = 120000 * 0.08 * 4/12 = $3200
