2. Faith opens a credit card with an APR of 16.50% compounded monthly. How much is charged in interest this month if her balance is $1,050? (1 point)

A. $173.25
B. $87.50
C. $16.50
D. $14.44

Given that

Principal =  $1050

Interest =  16.50% = 0 . 1650

Compounding period = 12

[ Formula : Interest = Principal x Interest / Compounding period ]

substitute Principal , Interest and Compounding period  in the above formula

Interest = $1050 x .1650 / 12

Simplify

 = $14.4375

= $14.44

There fore Interest = $14.44

Option D is right choice

The principal is $861 .

Interest rate 20.8% .

Interest is compounded monthly .

Formula for compound interest is image 

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit) = $861

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal) = 0.208

t  = number of years the amount is deposited = one month = 1/12

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of times the interest is compounded per year = 12 times .

image

He made a payment of $73 this month , so $73 has to subtract from net amount .

Balance amount = 875.924 - 73 = 802.924

So the Balance amount is 802.924 .

Option (c) is correct .
