Calculating the Cost of Credit Card Purchases Directions Use the interest rate of 18% and an annual fee of $49 to complete this chart. In Month 1, there was a balance due of $3,000. The borrower will make a monthly payment of $200 and keep new purchases of goods and services at $115 per month for the year. Month 1 Calculate the interest for each month (balance x 1.5%). To obtain the balance for the next month, subtract the payment from the balance and add cost of new purchases plus monthly interest and fee. For example: $3,000 - $200 = $2800+ $115 + $94 = $3,009. (NOTE: The annual fee of $49 is paid only once.) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Interest rate: 18% (APR); 1.5% monthly 12 Balance $3,000 $3,009 $2,969.14 Payments $200 $200 Purchases $115 $115 E $49 $45 67-20112.2011 CARD WALICH FRACTORES 2017-12-221.
