Answer:

a)

June 30, 2018

Dr Notes receivable 46,000

    Cr Sales revenue 42,202

    Cr Discount on notes receivable 3,798

PV of notes receivable = $46,000 / [1 + (9/12 x 12%)] = $42,202

December 31, 2018

Dr Discount on notes receivable 2,760

    Cr Interest revenue 2,760

Interest revenue = $46,000 x 12% x 6/12 = $2,760

March 31, 2019

Dr Cash 46,000

Dr Discount on notes receivable 1,038

    Cr Notes payable 46,000

    Cr Interest revenue 1,038

b) effective interest rate = 0.96% x 12 = 11.52% annual
