Answer:

June 30 Notes Receivable 66,000  
  Sales revenue   66,000
       
       
Dec 31 Interest receivable 2640  
  Interest revenue   2640
  (66,000*8%*6/12)    
       
       
Mar 31 Cash 69,960  
  Interest receivable   2640
  Interest revenue (66000*8%*3/12)   1320
  Notes Receivable   66,000
       
       
       
       
       

2021 income will be understated by 2640

2022 income will be overstated by 2640
