Explanation:

Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

Interest revenue on the note is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

The total interest revenue is $8,000 x 6%/12 x 6 months = $240.

Monthly interest revenue is therefore $240 / 6 months = $40.

Total interest as at December 31 (Nov 1 - Dec 31): $40 x 2 months = $80.
