How a notes receivable quiz helps you study

Accounting students often mix up interest on a note, accrued interest at year-end and the entry for a dishonored note. A notes receivable quiz lets you practice those steps on the exact chapter your instructor assigned instead of a generic set of problems.

  • Interest calculations on notes with days or months as the term
  • Year-end accrual entries for interest receivable
  • Journal entries for notes received, collected and dishonored
  • Sale or discounting of a note to a bank and the gain or loss recorded
Example notes receivable practice questions
A customer signs a $5,000, 6% note due in 90 days. How much interest is due at maturity?$75. Interest equals principal times rate times time, so $5,000 x 6% x 90/360 = $75, assuming a 360-day year as the course convention.
True or false: a note receivable is reported as an asset because the holder has the right to collect cash from the borrower.True. The note is a written promise to pay, so it is an asset to the holder, and its maturity determines whether it is reported as current or noncurrent.
A customer dishonors a $10,000 note. What entry moves the balance out of notes receivable?Debit Accounts Receivable for the principal plus interest, and credit Notes Receivable. The customer still owes the money, so the amount becomes a regular receivable.
A $10,000, 8% note issued October 1 for 12 months has earned interest through December 31. What is the year-end accrual?$200. The interest is $10,000 x 8% x 3/12, and it belongs to this year even though cash is collected later, so the adjusting entry debits Interest Receivable and credits Interest Revenue.
When a note receivable is sold to a bank, how is the cash proceeds figure determined?Proceeds equal the maturity value minus the bank's discount for the remaining term. The difference between proceeds and the note's carrying amount is recorded as a gain or loss on the sale.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, pasted text or a photo of your textbook page that covers notes receivable.

Pick a question type

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want to practice.

Answer and review

Work through the quiz, read each explanation and redo the questions you missed.

Start with the core formula: interest equals principal times annual rate times time, where time is days over 360 or months over 12 depending on your course convention. Then move to adjusting entries for interest that was earned but not yet collected, and to the entry that moves a dishonored note back into accounts receivable.

When you are ready for the exam, switch to open questions so you have to explain the reasoning, not just pick an answer. Review the explanations for every miss, then retake only those questions in a later session.
