Answer 1

$196,730

Step-by-step explanation:

The note payable signed has an interest rate of 6% per year. Since the amount is paid back in 6-months, only half a period should be considered when calculating interests due. The total amount that New Morning Bakery should pay back on May 1, 2022 is given by:

`A =\$191,000*(1+(0.06*0.5))\\A=\$196,730`

The company will need to pay $196,730.
