    Given:

    term: 75-day simple interest note

    Principal : $11,280

    rate: 12.3%

    Interest = Principal * rate * term

    Interest = 11,280 *.123 * 75/365

    Interest = 285.09

    Maturity Value = Principal + Interest

    Maturity Value = 11,280 + 285.09

    Maturity Value = 11,565.09

    The problem stated "exact interest" this means that the 365-day year will be used. The use of 360-day year is called ordinary or banker's interest.

    Given:

    Amount borrowed: $9,805

    term: 7 mos

    rate: 8.5%

    Interest = Principal * rate * term

    Interest = 9,805 * 0.085 * 7/12

    Interest = 486.16

    Amount repaid = Principal + Interest

    Amount repaid = 9,805 + 486.16

    Amount repaid = 10,291.16
