9. Calculate the ordinary simple interest and the exact simple interest on these loans.
Solution
for ordinary interest or the simple interest
I. = Pr (D/360); I. = ordinary interest, D = no. of days
we are given that P = $ 2400 , r = 13 % = 13/100
t = 60 days
I = 2400*13/100*60/360 = $ 52
hence the ordinary or the simple inerest is = $ 52
so fill the field under 360 day year with $ 52
for the exact interest
I. = Pr (D/365); I. = exact interest
I = 2400*13/100*60/365 = $ 51.287
hence fill the field under 365 day year with $ 51.287
