Chapter 11.2 Problem 11.1.128

Question

Tax Preparation Loan Many tax preparation organizations will prepay customers tax refunds if they pay a one-time finance charge. In essence, the customer is borrowing the money (the refund minus the finance charge) from the tax preparer, prepaying the interest (as in a discount note), and then repaying the loan with the tax refund. This procedure allows customers access to their tax refund money without having to wait. Joy Stallard had a tax refund of $743.21 due. She was able to get her tax refund immediately by paying a finance charge of $39.95. What annual simple interest rate is Joy paying for this loan assuming a) the tax refund check would be available in 5 days? b) the tax refund check would be available in 10 days? c) the tax refund check would be available in 20 days?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 11.2 problem number 128 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Tax Preparation Loan Many tax preparation organizations will prepay customers tax refunds if they pay a one-time finance charge. In essence, the customer is borrowing the money (the refund minus the finance charge) from the tax preparer, prepaying the interest (as in a discount note), and then repaying the loan with the tax refund. This procedure allows customers access to their tax refund money without having to wait. Joy Stallard had a tax refund of $743.21 due. She was able to get her tax refund immediately by paying a finance charge of $39.95. What annual simple interest rate is Joy paying for this loan assuming a) the tax refund check would be available in 5 days? b) the tax refund check would be available in 10 days? c) the tax refund check would be available in 20 days?
From the textbook chapter Consumer Mathematics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
