Hi,
I presume here 24 days to be calculated for accrue interest and the entry would be in the following manner...
Journal Entry Debit Credit
Accrued Interest a/c Dr 57.86
To Interest a/c 57.86
Accrued Interest a/c will go to Balance sheet as an asset and Interest a/c will go to credit side of profit & loss a/c.

I think you have it backward, the adjusting journal entry is for a note payable.
I would Dr Interest expense (an account on the P&L)
And would CR Accrued interest payable (a Bal Sheet account)
