Question 134 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007

Tony invested $5,500 in a four-year CD that paid 4.8% interest, but later needed to withdraw $475 early. If the CD’s penalty for early withdrawal was three months’ worth of interest on the amount withdrawn, how much of a penalty did Tony pay?

Answer
A
$5.70
B
$22.80
C
$60.30
D
$66.00

Explanation

Three months is one-quarter of a year, so calculate three months of interest on the $475 withdrawn: $475 × 0.048 × (3 ÷ 12) = $5.70. Tony paid a $5.70 penalty, which is choice A.
