    The question asks for the interest revenue earned during 2016. Though parsons inc. gets interest for 9 months, only 8 months interest will be credited to interest revenue for 20126. One months interest, that of December 2015) will be credited to the interest revenue of 2015.

    So the interest earned during 2016 = $20,000 x 9/100 x 8/12

    = $1200

    9/100 is 9% interest and 8/12 is 8 months out of 12 months.
