Adjusting entry for Interest receivable:


It is given that Waterway industries loaned $610000 to another corporation on December 1, 2017 and received a 3-month, 9% interest-bearing note with a face value of $610000. Hene we need to record the Interest receivable for the period of one month as on December 31. Interest  =610,000*9%/12 = $4,575

The adjusting entry as on Dec. 31 shall be as follows;


Interest Receivable  Debit  $4,575

Interest Revenue      Credit              $4,575

(Being adjustment made for Interest receivable)


Hence, the correct answer is:

Debit interest receivable and credit interest revenue, $4575
