Calculate Daily Balance: Calculate the daily balance for each day from July 15 to August 15. Note: Since the problem does not provide a spreadsheet and the calculation of the average daily balance involves many steps, we will describe the process rather than perform the actual calculations. - Start with the initial balance on July 15. - For each transaction, adjust the balance accordingly. - Keep a running total of the daily balance for each day.
Calculate Average Balance: Calculate the average daily balance.- Add up all the daily balances.- Divide by the number of days in the billing cycle (July 15 to August 15 is 31 days).
Calculate Finance Charge: Calculate the finance charge using the average daily balance and the annual interest rate.- Convert the annual interest rate to a daily rate by dividing by 365 (20.9%/365).- Multiply the average daily balance by the daily interest rate.- Multiply the result by the number of days in the billing cycle to get the finance charge.
Round Finance Charge: Since we do not have the actual average daily balance, we cannot perform the calculation. However, if we had the average daily balance (let's call it ADB), the calculation would look like this:- Daily interest rate = 36520.9%=0.05726% per day- Finance charge = ADB×0.05726%×31
