The maturity date should show $4000 plus the 6% interest of $240 or $4240 because the market needed the 90 days probably to sell the merchandise and thus be able to pay for the goods and with adequate sales price of the goods they should also be able to pay the interest and still make a profit.

Given:
4,000 worth of goods
signed a 90-day, 6% promissory note for the $4,000

The 6% would be annual interest rate. So we need to solve for the corresponding interest rate of the 90-day period.

6% / 360 = 0.0166
0.0166% x 90 = 1.5%

4,000 * 1.5% = 60  interest income

Sales recorded by Foods Supplier:
                                                         Debit                 Credit
Notes Receivable                            4,000
               Sales Revenue                                           4,000
Payment made by Giorgio Italian Market will be recorded by Food Supplier as the following:
                                                         Debit                Credit
Cash                                                4,060
     Notes Receivable                                                 4,000
     Interest Income                                                         60
