Cash advance 2001-03-28
From A student:
dulani has a new credit card. it says: you can get cash advances wherever you are. whenever you want. also if you pay off your balance in full each month for a small transaction fee, the cash is interest free. (see important information on reverse side. On reverese side it says:

cash advance transaction fee:

$500 or less 2.5%;
$500.01 to $1000.00-2%;
$1000.01 or more -1.5%;
$2.00 minumum.

Annual percentage rater for cash advances 19.8%.
dulani wants to know what a cash advance will really cost. Analyze the cash advance terms given here. how much would he pay for a $20 cash advance? What about a $450 cash advance? What annual interest rate are these charges equivalent to? choose other amounts. determine cost and annual ratees for these as well. make recommendations to dulani.
