Answer 1

Answer:   Interest                                             Maturity Date

(a) 78110×7%×(60/360) = $911                          August 9

(b) 46200×8%×(90/360)= $924                          October 12

(c) 11700×9%×(75/360) = $219                                 July 11

Explanation:

To compute the interest we apply the following formula:

Interest= (Principal) × (Interest Rate) ×(Terms ÷360)

For the Maturity date, we add Terms to the Date of note .

By using the above formula for the given table, we get the following values

      Interest                                             Maturity Date

(a) 78110×7%×(60/360) = $911      August 9

(b) 46200×8%×(90/360)= $924     October 12

(c) 11700×9%×(75/360) = $219      July 11
