SOLUTION

Notes are often a key component of how a business finances its operations. In general note are a short-term commercial financing.

Write out the information given

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Principal=\$80,000} \\ \text{ Rate=10.5 \%}=\frac{10.5}{100}=0.105 \\ \\ \text{Time}=\frac{180}{360}=0.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The maturity value formula is given by

[tex]\text{maturity value= Principal(1+rate x time)}[/tex]

Substitute, tyhe value into the formula, we have

[tex]\text{Maturity value =80000(1+(0.5x0.105))}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Maturity value=80 000(1+0.0525)} \\ \text{Maturity value=80 000(1.0525)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\text{Maturity value=}84\text{ 200}[/tex]

Hence

The maturity value on the note will be $84 200

Answer: $84 200
