    LG 7-2. An account receivable is money that is receivable from a customer as a result of making a
         sale and is normally due in 30–90 days. A note receivable is a formal written promise to pay money
         to your business by someone else. A note receivable is normally due any time from several
         months to many years depending on the terms of the particular note. Interest is the cost of
         borrowing money. (You could think of it as the “rental” charge for money.) Interest receivable is
         the interest that the holder of the note is expecting to receive from the borrower for the use of the
         money for a particular period of time that has elapsed.

    LG 7-3. Office supplies are assets that are consumed quickly (in less than a year) in the normal
         course of business (such as paper, pens and pencils, paper clips, and copy machine toner). Office
         equipment is a category of assets that have a much longer useful life (greater than a year) and are
         used up slowly (such as desks, file cabinets, and computers).
