Answer: answer is not in the option.

Correst answer -Noble must pay South Bank on May 1, Year 2, when the note matures, $84,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest accrued = Principal(amount borrowed) x rate x time

= $80,000 x 12 x 6/12

= $4,800

Amount to be paid on may 1 st the next year (year 2 )=Amount borrowed + interest accrued

= $80,000 + $4,800 = $84,800

Noble must pay South Bank on May 1, Year 2, when the note matures the sum of $84,800
