Question

Interest earnings of 4 percent with a $450 minimum balance; average monthly balance, $600; monthly service charge of $20 for falling below the minimum balance, which occurs five times a year (no interest earned in these months). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input the amount as a positive value.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$86

Explanation:

Missing word "What could be the net annual cost"

Monthly fee = $20

Interest rate = 4% = 0.04

Average monthly balance = $600

Net annual cost = $20*5 - 0.04*$600*7/12

Net annual cost = $100 - $14

Net annual cost = $86

So, the net annual cost of this account is $86.
