    a. $58,400

    Explanation:

    A discounted note, will make the person receive a lesser amount than the amount due at maturity. This way the person who grants the note is receiving interest for borrowing.

    Calculations

    principal x discount rate x time = discount

    Where rate and time should be expressed in the same metric IE if the rate is annual express time in portion of years if it is monthly, in months.

    60,000 x 0.08 x 120/360 = 1,600

    Now, we subtract this amount form the nominal:

    nominal - discount = net

    60,000 - 1,600 = 58,400
