    The correct answer is C $41,250

    Explanation:

    For computing the interest revenue, first we have to calculate the present value and than compute the interest amount for both the years 2014 and 2015.

    So,

    Present value of notes = $500,000 * 0.75

    = $375,000

    Now, compute the interest earned for both the years

    For 2014 = $375,000 * 10%

    = $37,500

    For 2015 = $37,500) * 10%

    = $3750

    So for 2015 = $37,500 + $3750 = $41,250

    Hence, $41,250 of interest revenue should be included in Ball's 2015 income statement

    Thus, the correct answer is $41,250
