Expert Solution

1.

The 180-day note will mature on April 30 2018 which can be counted from 1 November 2017 as:

November 2017: 29 days

December 2017: 31 days

January 2018: 31 days

February 2018: 28 days

Marc h 2018: 31 days

April 2018: 30 days

Total : 180 days

2.

Interest expense in 2017 = Principal x rate x time

= $ 155,000 x 11% x (29 + 30)/360

= $ 155,000 x 0.11 x 60/360

= $ 155,000 x 0.11 x 0.166666667

= $ 2,841.666667 or $ 2,842

3.

Interest expense in 2017 = Principal x rate x time

= $ 155,000 x 11% x (180-60)/360

= $ 155,000 x 0.11 x 120/360

= $ 155,000 x 0.11 x 0.3333333

= $ 5,683.333333 or $ 5,683
