On January 15, 2021, James Company received a two-month, 4%, $7,000 note from Peter Long for the settlement of his open account. The entry by Jaymes Company on January 15, 2016 would include a:________

a. debit of $7,047 to Notes Receivable.
b. debit of $7,000 to Notes Receivable.
c. credit of $7.047 to Accounts Receivable.
d. credit of $7,000 to Notes Receivable,

James Company received a Note Receivable of $7,000 from Peter Long to settle the Receivable account so Notes Receivable will increase. As it is an asset, it will be debited when it increases so Note Receivable has to be debited $7,000.

Accounts Receivable will be credited with the same $7,000 indicate that the Receivables account has been settled by the Note.

The entry would include debit of $7,000 to Notes Receivable.

Here, James Company received a Note Receivable of $7,000 from Peter Long to settle the Receivable account, hence, the Notes Receivable will increase.

Since the Notes Receivable is an asset, it will be debited when it increases, thus, Note Receivable has to be debited with the amount of $7,000.

However, the Accounts Receivable will be credited with $7,000 to show that the Receivables account has been settled by the Note.

Hence, the Option B is correct because the entry by Jaymes Company on January 15, 2016 would include debit of $7,000 to Notes Receivable.
