Here is the transaction that the above information refers to:

Mr. Burns Sold cookies on account to Mayor Quimby for his nephew's 18th birthday party. Mr. Burns sold $150,000 worth of cookies. The terms were n/30 and the cost of merchandise sold was $50,000.

I know the answer for the transaction we're solving for. It's:

    I think there's something missing in your given problem. There's should be a stated interest rate to be given for you to compute your interest revenue. The suggested answer from your problem used compound entry for journalizing its transaction. Here's my answer:

    Upon the occurrence of business transaction using single entry method:

    Debit Notes Receivable $150,000

    Credit Sales $ 150,000

    #

    Debit Cost of Goods Sold $ 50,000

    Credit Inventory $ 50,000

    Upon receipt using single entry method:

    Debit Cash $ 150,000

    Credit Notes Receivable $ 150,000

    Debit Cash $ ?

    Credit Interest Revenue $ ?

    Using formula: Interest Revenue: Interest Rate X Principal ($150,000) X Time
