You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Theres a fee of $5 per month and theres $0.25 per check per month. With 19 checks thats 19*0.25=4.75 add that to the $5 fee to make $9.75 per month theres 12 months in a year so 9.75*12=117. So $117 is spent annually/yearly.
Um for b the only cost is from the 4 months that the balance dropped below 750 so 4*8=32. So a $32 fee for this year.
The total cost for both accounts together is $149 for this year.
I hope this helped.
