Answer:

Amount = $14,024 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount received P = $13,500

Rate r = 7% = 0.07

Time t = 15 month = 15/12 = 1.25 = year

Discount rate = 6% = 0.06

Computation:

Maturity value = P[1+rt]

Maturity value = 13,500[1+(0.07)(1.25)]

Maturity value = $14,685.61

Time = 15 month - 6 month

Time = 9 month = 9/12 = 0.75 year

Amount = MV[1-dt]

Amount = 14,685.61[1-(0.75)(0.06)]

Amount = $14,024 (Approx)
