complete the table to calculate the interest amounts.
| interest calculated through maturity date | interest calculated through december 31 | interest calculated from january 1 through maturity date | |
|---|---|---|---|
| rate (%) | 8% | 8% | 8% |
| time | 90/360 | 60/360 | 30/360 |
| total interest |
Step1: Recall simple - interest formula
The simple - interest formula is $I = P\times r\times t$, where $P$ is the principal amount, $r$ is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and $t$ is the time in years.
Step2: Calculate interest through maturity date
For the Tomas Company note with $P = 12000$, $r=0.08$, and $t = \frac{90}{360}$, we have $I_1=12000\times0.08\times\frac{90}{360}=240$.
Step3: Calculate interest through December 31
The time from March 3 to December 31 is approximately 60 days (assuming a non - leap year). So, with $P = 12000$, $r = 0.08$, and $t=\frac{60}{360}$, we get $I_2=12000\times0.08\times\frac{60}{360}=160$.
Step4: Calculate interest from January 1 through maturity date
The time from January 1 to the maturity date (90 days after March 3) is 30 days. With $P = 12000$, $r = 0.08$, and $t=\frac{30}{360}$, we have $I_3=12000\times0.08\times\frac{30}{360}=80$.
