Cash                            1,000,000

Note receivable                                                  1,000,000

Cash                              70,000

Interest receivable                                               70,000

Explanation:

At December 31 2021 it would be the end of maturity of the 2 year note so the note would be have to be paid in full, so Heinlein assoc will receive $1,000,000 in cash for the note. Also because it is the end of the year they will also receive 7% interest which is (0.07*1,000,000)= 70,000

The Heinlein Assoc will debit cash by 1,000,000 and credit the note receivable by the same amount and they will debit 70,000 cash and credit interest receivable by 70,000.
