Question 1135814
balance of $2536.42 * 14 days equals a total of $35509.88.
balance of $1536.42 * 7 days equals a total of $10754.94.
balance of $1835.63 * 9 days equals a total of $16520.67.


total balance for 30 days is $35509.88 + $10754.94 + $16520.67 = $62785.49.


average daily balance for 30 days is $62785.49 / 30 = $2092.849667.


interest charged would be 15% / 100 / 365 * 30 * $2092.849667 = $25.80 rounded to the nearest penny.


the daily interest rate would be 15 / 100 / 365 = .0004109589041.


this rate is multiplied by $2092.849667 to get the daily finance charge of .8600752056.


the daily finance charge of .8600752056 is multiplied by 30 to get the finance charge of $25.80 rounded to two decimal places for the billing cycle.


this assumes no daily compounding.


if daily compounding is included, the formula is more complex and the interest charge for the billing cycle is slightly higher.


here's a reference.
