Answer: Please see explanation column for answer

Explanation:

Interest amount =Principal (note amount) x rate x period

= $10,800   x 10% x 60/360 = $180

journal entry to record the dishonored note

Account                                            Debit                  Credit

Account receivable - valley spa     $10,980

Interest Revenue                                                            $180

Notes receivable                                                             $10,800

Account receivable= $10,800 +$180 =$10,980

Here, the company intends to continue with  collection efforts, so the amount would be  classified as  the dishonored note as part of accounts receivable by Debiting the  accounts receivable which would be the total of the principle and interest owed also  crediting the notes receivable account for the principle  amount and the interest revenue account for the interest amount.
