Your answer for number 2 is incorrect I got 56.25% it's 45,000=40,000(r)2
45,000=80,000(r)
45,000/80,000
r=.5625 or 56.25%.

number three is also incorrect. Answer A is correct, but answer B is not. You have to examine the key word ordinary value, which is number of days divided by 360. what you found was the exact intrest. ordinary instrest is number of days divided by 360. It would be 4,450X.16X60/360=$118.67
