FINCORP has two debtors who each make a $10, 000 purchase. Debtor 1 pays their account in 10 days, while debtor 2 pays in 30 days. a) In simple terms, what nominal annual interest rate is debtor 2 incurring for the benefit of delaying payment? Note: base your answer on the following logic. If a borrower pays 3% for a 30-day loan, we could express the nominal annual rate as roughly 36.5% i.e 3% x 365/30 = 36.5% that payment is due within 30 days but debtors will receive a 5 percent discount if they pay within 14 days. I'm quite unsure if that 5% as it is a discount, is handy or the steps to calculate the nominal interest rate

Use the appropriate function(s) in Excel to answer the following questions. How much would your monthly payment be on a 3-year loan if the following assumptions were true? You borrowed $7,400. The fixed APR on the loan is 3.2%. Note: A fixed APR is an annual interest rate that does not change during the 3-year period. You will make equal monthly payments to repay both the loan amount and the monthly interest charges. You want to completely pay off the loan in exactly 3 years. (Round to the nearest cent, do not include a negative sign) Note: while this money is "leaving your wallet" the negative sign should not be included in the numeric answer because it is already implied by the word "payment" What is the total amount that you would pay to the bank over this 3-year period? Hint: Be sure to use your rounded answer from the previous step in the calculation of this answer. (Round to the nearest cent, do not include a negative sign) How much total interest would you have paid…
