    First you need to calculate the interesest earned during the period.

    On Jul 1, the interest is received @ 60,000 * 5% * 6/12. Interest = Principle * Rate * time
    the Journal entry to record this is: Debit Cash for the amount Received and Credit Interest Revenue.

    At Dec 31 the interest earned but not yet recorded is: 60,000 * 5% * 6/12.
    The two accounts that are affected in this transaction are Interext Receivable and Interest Revenue.

    In the Income Statement you will list Interest Revenue and then the amount in this account.
