Determine Due Date and Interest on Notes
Determine the due date and the amount of interest due at maturity on the following notes:
Date of Note | Face Amount | Interest Rate | Term of Note | |||||
a. | January 10* | $40,000 | 5% | 90 days | ||||
b. | March 19 | 18,000 | 8 | 180 days | ||||
c. | June 5 | 90,000 | 7 | 30 days | ||||
d. | September 8 | 36,000 | 3 | 90 days | ||||
e. | November 20 | 27,000 | 4 | 60 days |
*Assume that February has 28 days.
Assume 360-days in a year when computing the interest.
Based on the information available in the question , we can calculate the amount of interest due and due date as follows:-
S.No | Date of Note | Face Amount | Interest rate | Term of Note(in days) | Amount of Interest due at maturity | Due Date |
a.) | January 10th | 40,000 | 5% | 90 | 500 | April 10th |
b.) | March 19th | 18,000 | 8% | 180 | 720 | September 15th |
c.) | June 5th | 90,000 | 7% | 30 | 525 | July 5th |
d.) | September 8th | 36,000 | 3% | 90 | 270 | December 7th |
e.) | November 20th | 27,000 | 4% | 60 | 180 | January 19th |
The Interest due for any year is calculated as follows:-
Face Amount * Interest rate * (Term of Note-in days/360)
For example a.) = $40,000 * 5% * 90/360 = $500
