    Journal Entry for Interest Received
    I'm having problems with the Journal Entry for the following:
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    On October 1, 2005, XYZ Co. lent $48,000 to TightFit Shoes. A note was signed with principle and 10% interest to be paid on September 30, 2006.

    The JE should be done for who, XYZ Co. or TightFit Shoes?

    If for XYZ,
    On Oct 1/05,
    Dr. Notes receivable 48,000
    Cr. Cash 48,000

    On Sept 30/06
    Dr. Cash 4,800
    Cr. Interest Revenue 4,800
    48,000 x .1 = 4,800

    If for TightFit Shoes,
    On Oct 1/05,
    Dr. Cash 48,000
    Cr. Notes payable 48,000

    On Sept 30/06
    Dr. Interest Expense 4,800
    Cr. Cash 4,800
    48,000 x .1 = 4,800

    You are welcome SJohann.

    However, I misread the question, it is not just interest, put the principle to be paid back as well.

    Therefore, the JE for XYZ Co. on Oct 1/05 is:
    Dr. Notes receivable 48,000
    Cr. Cash 48,000

    And the change comes here:
    On Sept 30/06
    Dr. Cash 52,800 (4,800+48,000)
    Cr. Interest Revenue 4,800
    Cr. Notes receivable 48,000

    How do I record the following entry:

    Total fixed deposit (FD) interest for 2011 is 180,000
    Interest will be received in 2012 is 127,000; so interest this year is 53,000.
    All the interest will add principal amount.
    But I have balance in FD interest receivable amounting to 51,549.33

    Tq. Please help me
