Explanation:

Value upon maturity=principal amount+interest of 120 days

Value upon maturity=$10,000+(120/360*8.5%*$10000)

Value upon maturity=$10,000+$283.33

Value upon maturity=$10,283.33

the value is receivable in 120 days time

On May 1st , the note has earned 68 days interest(29 days in March,30 days in April plus 9 days in May)

Hence the interest days lost is 52days(120-68)

Discounted amount =$10,283.33-(52/360*9%*$10,283.33)

                                  =$10,283.33-$133.68

                                   =$10,149.65

say it in english maybe we can

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
