Present value of Note = $102,087

Explanation:

Non interest bearing note is not required the borrower to pay interest on the loan. So,

Present value of Note on carter's record:

Future Value = Present value x (1 + rate of interest) ^tenure of Note

FV = PV x (1+r) ^n

$150,000 = PV x (1 + 8%) ^5

$150,000 = PV x (1 + 0.08) ^5

$150,000 = PV x (1.08) ^5

$150,000 = PV x 1.4693281

PV = $150,000 / 1.4693281

Present Value = $102,087.48
