Explanation / Answer

Interest for 65 days = 30,000 x 12% x 65/360

                                       =650

Principle repaid = Total payment – Interest expense

                                = 3300 -650

                                = $2650

Principle outstanding = $30,000 - $2650

                                = $27,350

Interest for next 41 days (106 - 65) = 27350 x 12% x 41/360

                                                                = 373.78

Principle repaid = $5300 – $373.78

                          = $4,926.22

a)

Total interest paid = 650 + 373.78

                              =1,023.78

b)

Ending balance due after 106 days = principal outstanding after 65 days – repayment on 106th day

                                                                       = $27,350 – $4,926.22

                                                                      = $22,423.78
