Answer 1

Answer:

D. 321,600.

Explanation:

Present value is the current value of a future amount that is to be received or paid out.

Given:

Present value, P = $60000

Present value of ordinary annuity for the remaining 6 years = 4.36

The Present value, PV of the note is equal to the first payment + the Present value of ordinary annuity (all at 10%) of the remaining six payments

Sales revenue = $60000 + (60,000 × 4.36)

= $60000 + $261,600

= $321,600

Thus, sales revenue of $321,600.
