$ 48,000, 90 days, 8% note

To simplify interest computation a year is commonly treated as having 360 days ( called the banker's rule).

Interest= Principal of the interest * annual Interest rate* time in years

Interest= $ 48,000* 8% * 90/360

Interest = $ 48,000* 0.08 *1/4= $ 960

The amount due on the dishonored note plus interest= $ 48,000 + 960=

$ 48,960

10 % of $ 48,960= $ 4896

The entry on 21st oct would be

Cash        $ 53856 Dr.

Interest Revenue $ 4896 Cr

Interest Receivable $ 960 Cr

Notes Receivable $ 48,000 Cr

The $ 4896 interest earned reflects the Randon's Revenue from holding the note from 21st Sept to 21st Oct.
