Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Here we have to determine the impact of not considering the discount

effective cost of not considering discount is

= ((1 + (r ÷ (1 - r))^(365 ÷ (due date - discount period)) - 1

= ((1  + (0.019 ÷ (1 - 0.019)))^(365 ÷ (30-10)))-1

= 39.30%

Since effective cost of not considering discount is more than the interest rate so the simon should entered into the loan agreement
