Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula to compute the accrued interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

For Nissim

The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= $18,000 × 10% × ( 41 days ÷ 365 days)

= $202.19

The 10 days of November and 31 days of December equals to 41 days

For Klein

The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= $14,000 × 9% × ( 18 days ÷ 365 days)

= $62.13

The 18 days of December month

For  Bildersee

The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= $16,000 × 12% × ( 12 days ÷ 365 days)

= $63.12

The 12 days of December month
