    Missing information:

    The note was accepted on March 10

    Answer:

    $6,029.10

    Explanation:

    in order to answer the question, I assumed a 360 day year, so 60 days = 2/12 of a year

    the note's value on maturity date = principal + accrued interest = $6,000 + ($6,000 x 9% x 2/12) = $6,000 + $90 = $6,090

    bank charges = note's value on maturity date x discount rate x 30 days = $6,090 x 12% x 1/12 = $60.90

    net proceeds = $6,090 - $60.90 = $6,029.10
