Explanation / Answer

8. Preveous balance Method:

    Finance charge = Previous balance x periodic interest rate

                              = $320 x 0.035= $11.20

9.1. Unpaid balance method:

       Finance charge = Unpaid balance x periodic interest rate

       Unpaid balance = Previous balance - (Payments+creidits)

       Unpaid balance = $320 - 160 - 100 = 60

       Finance charge = $60 x 0.035 = $2.10

10. Average daily balance method with new purchaes:

      Step I : How many days are there in the bill cycle : 31
