Solution
The correct answer is "credit to Notes Receivable".
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
When a note is dishonoured, it means that the payer (the person who issued the note) did not fulfill their obligation to pay the payee (the person who was supposed to receive the payment).
-
In accounting, this is recorded as a debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Notes Receivable. The debit to Accounts Receivable increases the amount that is owed to the payee, while the credit to Notes Receivable decreases the amount of notes that are outstanding.
-
The options "debit to Interest income" and "debit to Interest Expense" are not correct because the dishonouring of a note does not directly affect interest income or expense.
-
The option "credit to Accounts Receivable" is also not correct because a credit to Accounts Receivable would decrease the amount that is owed to the payee, which is not the case when a note is dishonoured.
Therefore, the correct answer is "credit to Notes Receivable".
