d. Rs.101913
Solution
1-b
Minimum payment require 5%
2-b
Effective interest rate=(1+r)^n-1
= (1+0.02)^12-1
= 1.26824-1
= 0.26824
= 26.82%
3-b
Daily interest charged=Due outstanding*12/365*r
=(30000+70000)*12/365*0.02
=100000*12*.02/365
=24000/365
=65.75
4-c
Total interest charged= no of days outstanding * Daily interest
From 11 Jul 2016 to 10 Aug 2016 = 30 days
=30*65.75
=1973
5-d
outstanding amount+additional purchase+interest
= 30000+70000+1973
= 101973
