**Understanding Note Payables: A Calculation Exercise**

**Question:**

On June 8, Williams Company issued a $75,964, 10%, 120-day note payable to Brown Industries. Assuming a 360-day year for your calculations, what is the maturity value of the note? When required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.

**Options:**

- a. $83,560
- b. $75,964
- c. $7,596
- d. $78,496

To solve this, we need to calculate the interest accrued over the 120-day period and add it to the principal amount of the note. Use the following formula to find the interest:

**Interest = Principal x Rate x Time**

Where:
- Principal = $75,964
- Rate = 10% (expressed as 0.10)
- Time = 120/360 (since the problem states to use a 360-day year)

Let's calculate step-by-step:

1. **Calculate the time period in years:**
   \[
   \text{Time} = \frac{120 \text{ days}}{360 \text{ days/year}} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ years}
   \]

2. **Calculate the interest:**
   \[
   \text{Interest} = 75,964 \times 0.10 \times \frac{1}{3} = 75,964 \times 0.10 \times 0.3333 = 2,532.13
   \]

3. **Calculate the maturity value (Principal + Interest):**
   \[
   \text{Maturity Value} = 75,964 + 2,532.13 = 78,496.13
   \]

Rounding to the nearest dollar, we get $78,496.

**Answer:**

d. $78,496
