Explanation:

Transaction in 2015:

Nov 1: Cash loan is made so Cash decrease (Cr) and Loan Receivable increase (Dr)

Dec 11: Sales on account so Account receivable increases (Dr) and Sales increases (Cr)

Dec 16: Note is received in exchange of receivable, so Note receivable increases (Dr) and Receivable decreases (Cr)

Dec 31: Total interest income accrued on loan/receivables is recorded as Dr Interest receivable ( increase) and Cr Interest income (increase) and  is calculated as:

Loan to Lopez + Receivable from Ralph + Receivable from Joe = 30,000 x 10% x 61/360 + 6,750 x 8% x 20/360 + 4,000 x 9% x 15/360 = 553.

The collection of the Lopez note at its maturity in 2016:

Total cash receipt = Principal + interest expenses = 30,000 + 30,000 x 10% x 365/360 = $33,042 and is recorded as Dr.

Interest income recorded in Interest receivable account in 2015 should be clear (Cr) at the amount of 30,000 x 10% x 61/360 = 501.

Another interest income earned in the year of 2016, calculated as 30,000 x 10% x (365-61)/360 = 2,534 is recorded ( Cr);

Loan receivable is cleared (Cr) at the principal amount of $30,000.
