Solution

To calculate the amount due, we first need to understand that the grace period is the time during which you are allowed to pay your credit card bill without having to pay interest. In this case, the grace period is 20 days.

  1. For the shoes purchased on January 1, they are within the grace period if paid by January 21 (20 days after purchase). Since the payment is made on January 30, it is 9 days past the grace period.

  2. For the jacket purchased on January 5, it is within the grace period if paid by January 25 (20 days after purchase). Since the payment is made on January 30, it is 5 days past the grace period.

However, the statement is dated January 7. This means that any purchases made before this date are due on this statement. If the statement is not paid in full by the due date, interest will be charged from the date of the statement, not the date of purchase.

Since both purchases were made before the statement date, and the payment is made after the grace period, interest will be charged on both items.

The interest is calculated as follows:

  1. For the shoes: 14528145 * 28% / 365 * 9 = 3.18
  2. For the jacket: 32028320 * 28% / 365 * 5 = 1.22

So, the total amount due would be the sum of the purchase amounts and the interest: 145+145 + 320 + 3.18+3.18 + 1.22 = $469.40.
