if the manufacture from the question above charge a 4 1/2 late fee, how much would city cellular owe if they did not pay the balance by the net date?

Huh ?

What question above ?

I'd say, the original amount + 4 1/2

whatever that means ...

To determine how much City Cellular would owe if they did not pay the balance by the net date, we need to know the net date and the balance amount. Unfortunately, that information is not provided in the previous question or conversation.

However, I can explain how you can calculate the amount owed.

1. Determine the balance amount: Find out the outstanding balance owed by City Cellular.

2. Determine the number of days late: Calculate the number of days City Cellular is late in paying the balance.

3. Calculate the late fee: Multiply the number of days late by the late fee charged per day (in this case, 4 1/2).

4. Calculate the total amount owed: Add the late fee to the balance amount to find the total amount City Cellular would owe.

For example, let's say the balance amount is $1000 and the net date is 30 days after the invoice. If City Cellular pays after the net date, we need to know the number of days late to proceed with the calculation.

Let's assume City Cellular is late by 7 days. Then, using the steps mentioned above:

1. Balance amount = $1000
2. Number of days late = 7
3. Late fee per day = 4 1/2
4. Late fee = Number of days late * Late fee per day = 7 * 4 1/2 = $31.50
5. Total amount owed = Balance amount + Late fee = $1000 + $31.50 = $1031.50

So, if City Cellular did not pay the balance by the net date and was 7 days late, they would owe $1031.50.

Please note that the specific balance amount, net date, and number of days late would need to be known to provide an accurate calculation for your specific scenario.
