Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To calculate the interest, we can use the simple interest formula:

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Principal = $60,000
Rate = 12% per year
Time = 60 days ÷ 360 days/year = 1/6 year

Interest = $60,000 × 0.12 × 1/6 = $1,200

Therefore, the total amount to be collected at maturity is:

$60,000 (principal) + $1,200 (interest) = $61,200

So, the best choice is C.
