Blair Automotive performed mechanic services for two customers. The first customer owed $5,280 for services, so Blair Automotive made them sign a written promise to pay in full after six months with an annual interest rate of 3.5%. The second customer owed $326 for services, so Blair Automotive plans to send them a bill within the next two weeks, due within 30 days of receipt of the bill. What is the difference between these two transactions

The first transaction will be recorded as a note receivable, whereas the second transaction will be recorded as an account receivable.

Explanation:

The first transaction is a note recievable which is a credit instrument that requires the debtor to pay interest. The period for repayment bis usually above 30 days. Blair Automotive made the first customer sign a written promise to pay in full after six months with an annual interest rate of 3.5%.

The second transaction is an account recievable which are claims for payment that is raised by a business for delivery of products and services, it is payable within an agreed time frame. Accounts receivable does not attract interest payment. Blair Automotive sends the second customer a bill within the next two weeks, due within 30 days of receipt of the bill.
