What proceeds does Scott receive? (Use 360 days a year. Do

nearest cent.)
Answer:
Calculate the discount period
90-31=59 days discount period
163 June 12
(132) May 12
31 days passed
Calculate the maturity value
15000*13%*90/360 = 487.5 interest + 15000 = $15487.5 MV
Calculate the bank discount
15487.5 * 12%*59/360 = $304.59 bank discount
Calculate proceeds
15487.5-304.59 = $15792.09 proceeds
