Question on Finances?
I recently opened a revolving charge account with MasterCard. My credit limit is $1000, but I have not charged that much since opening the account. I haven't had the time to review my monthly statements as promptly as I should, but over the upcoming weekend, I plans to catch up on my work.In reviewing March's statement, I noticed that my beginning balance was $600 and that I made a $200 payment on March 10. I also charged purchases of $80 on March 5, $100 on March 15, and $50 on March 30. I can't tell how much interest I paid in March because I spilled watercolor paint on that portion of the statement. I do remember my APR being 16%. Also, the back of my statement indicates that interest was charged using the average daily balance method including current purchases, which considers the day of a charge or credit. 1. Assuming a 30-day period in March, calculate March's interest using the average daily balance method.
