    The proceeds that Mobilee Oil Company receives is $10,149.65

    Explanation:

    Value upon maturity=principal amount+interest of 120 days

    Value upon maturity=$10,000 + (120/360*8.5%*$10000)

    Value upon maturity=$10,000+$283.33

    Value upon maturity=$10,283.33

    the value is receivable in 120 days time

    On May 1st, the note has earned 68 days interest (29 days in March, 30 days in April plus 9 days in May)

    Hence the interest days lost is 52days (120-68)

    Discounted amount = $10,283.33 - (52/360*9%*$10,283.33)

    =$10,283.33-$133.68

    =$10,149.65
