Question
On September 1, Horn Co. accepted a 60-day, 5% note in the amount of 3,000Cash for 3,150Cash for 3,025Cash for $3,150
Solution
The correct answer is "Accounts Receivable for $3,150". Here's why:
Step 1: Calculate the interest on the note. The formula for calculating interest is Principal x Rate x Time. In this case, the principal is 3,000 x 0.05 x (60/360) = $25.
Step 2: Add the interest to the principal to get the total amount due. 25 (interest) = $3,025.
Step 3: Since the customer dishonors the note and fails to pay, Horn Co. would debit (increase) Accounts Receivable for the total amount due, which is 3,150, which is not correct based on the given information.
So, the correct answer should be "Accounts Receivable for 3,150".
