b. $10,000 $ 8,570

Explanation:

The shirt term note will be reported for his face value as the customary term stand for a lack of commercial substance The note isn't accepted to gain interest as it is for a very-short term (less than 90 days)

In the other hand, the 9 months note does have a commercial substance therefore, it has implied interest charged into it.

nominal x pv favor = PV

10,000 x 0.857 = $8,570

This makes option B correct.
