For the adjusting entry you need to compute the amount of interest that is due. So if this is at year end on 31 Dec you have to calculate 4 months of interest.

The formula to calculate interest is: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

$360,000 * 20% * 4/12 = Interest Earned

The accounts used for this adjusting entry will be Interest Revenue and Interest Receivable
