CompuSystems was supposed to pay a manufacturer $19,000 on a date 4 months ago and another $14,000 on a date two months from now. CompuSystems is proposing to pay $10,000 today and the balance in 5 months, when it will receive payment on a major sale to the provincial government. What will the second payment be if the manufacturer requires 6% compounded monthly on overdue accounts?
