Respuesta :

Answer:

C. $5,560.

Explanation:

Ace Co. has sold King Co. at 8% rate, we will use this rate annuity which is 3.992 to find Present value of payments by King Co on this note.

Present value of payment = $20,000 / 3.992

PV = $5,010.

Total payments = $5,010 * 5 years = $25,050

Present value of note = $5010 * 3.890 = $19488.9

Total revenue earned by King Co. = $25,050 - $19,489

Total revenue earned by King Co. = $5,560.
