explain the answer please,
Thank you.The loan is a receivable – a current asset. 12,000
One years interest on the loan is due – a current asset. 2% x 12,000 = 240
There is a prepayment of insurance for 8 months – a current asset. 8/12 x 9,000 = 6,000
There is accrued rental income – a current asset. 4,000
Total = 22,240.
