Please may i have some help?


Dora Matthew's a real estate tax of $1,955.10 was due on December 12, 2007. Dora lost her job and could not pay her tax bill until February 24, 2008. The penalty for late payment is 7 1/2% ordinary interest.

A. What is the penalty Dora must pay?
B. What is the total amount Dora must pay to retire the loan?

please explain in detail???

A. The penalty owed is 7.5% ordinary interest and the bill is 74 days late. (19 days in December, 31 in January and 24 in February) So to calculate the penalty you take .075 (7.5%) and divide it by 365 and multiple by 74. This converts the percentage from an annual calculation to a 74 day calculation. You can then multiply this new amount by $1955.10 to arrive at the amount of the penalty.

B. The total amount to be paid is the penalty + $1995.10

Good Luck with the rest of your homework.
