Answer by Anna is correct.
Revenue to be recognized in year ending is 31 Dec 2014:
$100 million * 0.8890 (PV of $1 for 3 years on 4%) = $ 88.9 million
Interest to be recognized for year:
i) Ending Dec 2015 $88.9 * 0.04 = 3.556 million (A/cs Receivables $92.456 m)
ii) Ending Dec 2016 $92.456 * .04 = 3.698 million (A/cs Receivables $96.154 m)
iii) Ending Dec 2017 $96.154 * .04 = 3.846 million (A/cs Receivables $ 100 m)
