Note that in class I accounted for the note in part 1 on a net value.  When the interest was recognized I debited the note.  The alternate answer given here accounted for the note on a gross basis with the contra valuation account Discount on Note used to reduce the note receivable to its net value for the balance sheet.  When interest is recognized under this method the debit is to the discount on the note.  Either method is acceptable for the quiz.

 

Note also that the interest recognition in question 2 would consist of cash and amortization of the discount eg, first interest payment
