Answer
A
$46.07
B
$28.66
C
$21.36
D
$24.82

Explanation

With the previous balance method, the finance charge is based only on the balance at the start of the billing cycle; purchases and payments made during March do not change the amount used. The monthly rate is 16.60% ÷ 12 = 1.3833%. Thus, $1,794.30 × 0.013833 ≈ $24.82, so the March finance charge is choice D, $24.82.
