Answer:

Option B.

Dr Bad Debt Expense 8120

Cr        Notes Receivable 8120

Explanation:

The liability was of $8000 which excludes the interest income of 9% on it which is for 2 months.

So the total liability = $8000 + $8000*9%*2/12 = $8120

The double entry would include the decrease in the note receivable and increase in the bad debts expense with the same amount. So the entry is as under:

Dr Bad Debt Expense 8120

Cr        Notes Receivable 8120

Hence the correct option is Option B.
