Lesson 4: Consumer Responsibilities

Question 14 • [PERFIN] Personal Finance, Sem 2 (26-27)

A consumer charges a $46.92 purchase on a credit card. The card has a daily interest rate of 0.039%. If the consumer pays off the balance at the end of 30 days, how much in interest will be paid for the purchase?

Answer
A
$0.06
B
$0.18
C
$0.55
D
$5.49

Explanation

Convert the daily interest rate to a decimal: 0.039% = 0.00039. Over 30 days, the interest is $46.92 × 0.00039 × 30 = about $0.55. Therefore, the correct choice is $0.55.
