  Account Receivable                  15000

2) Accrued Interest   900

   Interest Revenue                     900

3) Cash                     1200

   Accrued Interest                      900

   Interest Revenue                      300

4) Cash                      15000

   Note Receivable                    15000

Explanation:

Dec 31 Accrued interest will be calculated by dividing the total interest payment of the year by 12 and multiplying it by 8 as May 1 -Dec 31 is 8 months

So 0.09 *15000/8/12=900

May 2017 Interest  payment recorded by calculating the total interest payment (15000*0.09)=1200 (cash debited)

And Accrued interest from previous year and this years interest revenue (4/12*1200) will be credit

15000 note receivable credited and 15000 cash debited for the principal repayment.
