    Determine balance sheet values
    On July 1, ABC company was created and has a balance of
    Cash: 11000
    Accounts Receivable:13000
    Notes Payable: 18000
    Revenue:3000
    Capital Stock: 3000

    and transactions such as these appears:

    1. The note payable was issued on September 1, 2006. It is a 11%, nine-month note
    2. Revenues earned but unbilled at December 31 total $6,000

    What should be the amount for accounts receivable and interest on Dec 31 of the balance sheet?

    I was thinking
    Interest = 990 because 18000 x 0.11 x (6/12) = 990
    A/R = 19000 because 13,000 + 6000 = 19000

    Could somebody help me out?

    Hi. Don't know if it's too late for an answer. I just joined tonight and am going back finding questions from a couple of days ago.

    The account receivable is correct.

    The interest, however, is not. You started OK, but it's not 6/12. You figured it for a half year because the company started on July 1. However, the loan did not exist at that time. The loan was gotten on Sept. 1 and it's now year-end. So how many months has the loan actually existed and therefore been accruing interest?
