Answer:

b. $ 116.67

Explanation:

Given data

Sale value of merchandise = $10,000

Interest rate = 7%

The computation of the interest revenue on December 31, 2016 is shown below:

= Note amount × rate of interest × given number of months ÷ total number of months in a year

= $10,000 × 7% × 2 months ÷ 12 months

= $116.67

The two months are calculated from November 1 to December 31
