The correct answer is $60,429.6

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Equipment cost = $800,000

Present value of 1$ = 0.77

So, Note carrying value for Jan. 1 2020 = $800,000 * 0.77 = $616,000

Now, The amount of interest for 2020 are as follows:

Interest amount = $616,000 * 9% = $55,440

Now, the amount of interest for 2021 are as follows:

Interest amount = ($616,000 + $55,440) * 9%

= $671,440 * 9%

= $60,429.6
