A sterile investment or asset is an investment or asset that does not generate income in the form of interest or dividend. Investments like gold, paintings or other collectibles can only generate income for their owner if their own value becomes bigger over time. With money, the investment can be interest-generating in a savings account, so ist is not by definition sterile. But it can be in some cases, for instance if you invest in antique coins.
To record interest earned, you typically make a journal entry that credits an interest income account and debits an asset account, such as cash or accounts receivable, depending on whether the interest has been received or is accrued. For example, if you earned $100 in interest, you would debit the cash account and credit the interest income account. This ensures that your financial statements accurately reflect the income earned during the accounting period.
