Explanation / Answer

A1) citi bank account is worth 200*(1.03)^60 = $1178.32

country bank account is worth 200*(1.035)^60 = $1575.618

Hence, E. The Country Bank account has paid $397.30 more in interest than the City Bank account. = ANswer

A2) common-size % = percentage of Accounts Receivable of Total assets = $6600/(6600+850+12150+1140) = 31.8226% = ANswer

A3) C. Sustainable growth rate by definition
