    Lets complete the question as thus

    Selkirk Company obtained a $12,000 note receivable from a customer on January 1, 2021. The note, along with interest at 10%, is due on July 1, 2021. On February 28, 2021, Selkirk discounted the note at Unionville Bank. The bank's discount rate is 12%.

    How much proceed would Selkirk

    Answer:

    Proceeds from discounting = $11,970

    Explanation:

    To calculate the proceeds, the gross proceed less the discount charged by the bank. The gross proceed is the total amount that would have been received should the note is held to maturity.

    Proceeds = Gross proceed - Discount charges

    The note maturity period = 6 months, January 1 to July 1

    Gross proceed = P + (P*R*T)

    P - 12,000 R - 10%, T - 6/12

    Gross proceed = 12,000 + (12,000 * 6% * 10/12) = $12,600

    Discount charges = Gross proceed * discount rate * time to maturity

    Time to maturity at the date of discounting = 6 - 1 = 5 months

    February 28 to July 1

    Discount rate - 12%, Time - 5/12

    12600 * 5/12 * 12% = $630

    Proceeds to be received

    = $12,600 - $630

    = $11,970
