Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are formal promises to pay arising from sales or services, represented by negotiable promissory notes. If a note matures and is unpaid, it is considered dishonored and transferred to accounts receivable, including any interest and charges. Measurement involves recording short-term notes at face value and long-term notes based on whether they are interest-bearing or noninterest-bearing, with subsequent measurement at amortized cost.
