Answer 1

Answer:

Glanville should record sales revenue of $74,891

Explanation:

Installment =  $15,000

Number of years = 6

Present value of installment = $15,000 * Present Value factor(8%, 6 years)

Present value of installment = $15,000 * 4.99271

Present value of installment = $74,890.65

Present value of installment =  $74,891
