    A) Interest on a 4-month note is calculated as: $1,000 * 12% * 1/12.

    Explanation:

    Each note is worth $1,000

    Each note carries a 12% interest rate

    Only one month has passed since the notes were issues, so the time = 1/12

    Therefore the interest accrued from December 1 to December 31 = note value x note's interest x time = $1,000 x 12% x 1/12 = $10
