the year includes the total of all accounts written-off since the beginning year True False 23 When accounting for uncollectible receivables and using the percentage of sales method, the matching

note, the date the note is issued is included but the due date is omitted True False 31 If a promissory note is dishonored, the payee should still record interest revenue True False 32 The equation for computing interest on an interest-bearing note is as follows: interest equals maturity value times interest rate times time True False 33 If the maker of a note fails to pay the debt on the due date, the note is said to be dishonored True False 34 When a note is received from a customer on account, it is recorded by debiting Notes Receivable and crediting Accounts Receivable True False 35
