a)Maturity date =Issue date +number of days

                          =March 25 + 60 days

                          = 24 may

b)Interest accrued on note =Face value *Rate*n/365

                = 3200 *.12 *60/365

                  = $ 63.12

Maturity value =Face value +interest accrued

                  = 3200+64

                  = 3263.12

c)Discount period = Maturity date -Discount date

                        = 24 May - April 14

                       = 40 days

d)Discount rate per day = 15/365 =.041096%

proceeds received = maturity value /(1+i)^n

                        = 3263.12/(1+.00041096)^40

                         =3263.12/(1.00041096)^40

                         = 3263.12 / 1.0165

                       = 3210.15

e)Effective interest rate =[1+APR/n]^n   -1

                      =[1+ .15/365]^365 -1

                       =[1+.00041096]^365   -1

                       = [1.00041096]^365 - 1

                        = 1.1618 - 1

                       = .1618 or 16.18%
