If the note is dishonored, then the company just has an account receivable
Debit. Account Receivable

Plenty of schools run through the summer. ;)


7. Upon payment of the amount due on a $3,000 face value, 60-day, 6 percent note, the accountant will record an entry that includes a debit to Notes Payable for $3,000.?

The answer is in #1. You stated yourself what one of the debits is.


11. Interest Income is classified as a current asset. FALSE
Most interest income is taxable and is classified as unearned income for the purposes of tax reporting.

The "false" answer is correct; the reasoning is not. Unearned income is when someone has paid you something in advance and you still owe them a service or goods, etc. Interest income is something that is already earned, whether it has been paid. Receipt of payment is irrelevant to the question. If it's "interest income" then it's income, just like it says.


12. If the proceeds of a discounted note are less than the face amount, the difference is debited to Interest Expense.?

It's true. You debit cash for the proceeds, debit the expense for the discount and credit the note for the face value.

The rest are all correct. Pretty good.
