Answer:

C) $118,000

Explanation:

ABC International will have to pay the following interests:

  • for the first three month period:

$4,000,000 x (5.5% + 0.65%) x 1/4 = $61,500

  • for the second three month period:

$4,000,000 x (5% + 0.65%) x 1/4 = $56,500

total interest for the 6 month period = $61,500 + $56,500 = $118,000
