    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012

    = Principal + Interest

    = $40,000 + $40,000 * 6%

    = $ 42,400

    The note is discounted on September 30, 2011.

    Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011:

    = 12 - 3 months (July, Aug and Sep)

    = 9 months.

    Bank will calculate the present value of amount receivable 9 months from September 30, 2011 at bank's discount rate which is the required rate of return by the bank.

    Amount of deduction:

    = $ 42,400 * 10% * 9/12

    = $ 3,180

    So, Cash received by Ireland:

    = Maturity value - Discount

    = $ 42,400 - $ 3,180

    = $39,220
