A credit card account had a $236 balance on March 5. A purchase of $180 was made on March 12, and a payment of $175 was made on March 28. Find the average daily balance if the billing date is April 5. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
COMPUTATION OF AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE
Average Daily Balance = Sum of the total amount owed each day of the month / Number of days in the billing period
Date | Payments or Purchases | Balance each day | Number of days until balance changes | Unpaid balance times number of days |
March 5 - March 11 | $236 | 7 | $1,652 | |
March 12 - March 27 | $180 | $416 | 16 | $6,656 |
March 28 - April 4 | ($175) | $241 | 8 | $1,928 |
TOTAL | 31 | $10,236 |
Average Daily Balance = $10,236 / 31
= $330.2
