Answer:
0.29
Explanation:
The computation of the approximate cost of foregoing the discounts is shown below:
Here we assume the balance to be $100
Now 2/10, net 35 means that if the person paid the amount within 10 days so he or she is eligible for the payment
So,
= $100 × (100 - 0.02)
= $98
The $98 should be paid in 10 days
or $100 for 35 days
So overall the $2 for borrowing and $98 for 25 days i.e. (35 - 10)
Now the annual percentage is
= $2 ÷ $98 × 360 days ÷ 25 days
= 0.29
