Note:
-
We assume that the hire purchase agreement with ABC Suppliers has an interest rate of 14% per annum, calculated on a simple interest basis.
The interest on each instalment is calculated as follows: Interest = (Balance x Rate x Time) / 365, where Rate = 14% and Time is the number of days since the last payment.
