    Bank A charges $600 annually while Bank B charges $700 annually

    Explanation:

    I = PRT/100

    Bank A

    P=$10,000, R=6%, T=1month=1/12 year

    I = (10,000*6) / (12*100) = $50 monthly = $600 annually ($50*12 = $600)

    Bank B

    P=$10,000, R=7%, T=1year

    I = (10,000*7) / 100 = $700 annually
