2. Byrd calculated that to forgo the discount for the computer would be the equivalent of paying 36% interest annually for the extra 20 days. Therefore, Byrd went to First Local Bank and signed a $60,000, 30-day note at 12% in order to take advantage of the discount terms. This transaction took place on December 29, 2019.
