Mel Sturbridge needs $24,700 to remodel his home.
Find the face value of a simple discount note that will provide the $24,700 in proceeds if he plans to repay the note in 180 days and the bank charges an 8% discount rate.

Round to the nearest cent.

Respuesta :

24,700 = P*(1 -rt)
P = $24,700/(1 -0.08*(180/360)) = $25,729.17 . . . . . assuming a 360-day year

The face value is $25,729.17.
