Question 13 • Financial Algebra/Mathematics

A credit card shows a balance of $0 for the first 5 days, a balance of $200 from the 6th to the 20th day, and a balance of $400 from the 21st to the 30th day of the billing cycle. What is the average daily balance for this credit card?

Answer
A
$233.50
B
$21
C
$280
D
$233.33

Explanation

There are 15 days with a $200 balance and 10 days with a $400 balance; the first 5 days contribute $0. The average daily balance is (15 × $200 + 10 × $400 + 5 × $0) ÷ 30 = $233.33, so the correct choice is $233.33.
