Answer 1

Answer:

a.

$52,200

b.

$51,156

Explanation:

Note are issued n the face value or the discounted value. When price of the note is the same as face value then it is known as issued on par/face value.

When price of the note is the lower as face value then it is known as issued on discounted value.

a.

Proceeds from the note issued is the price of the note at which it is issued. As the note is issued on the face value of $52,200, so the proceeds is the same value.

b.

Discount value = $52,200 x 12% x 60/360 = $1,044

Proceeds = Face value of the note - Discount on the note = $52,200 - $1,044 = $51,156
