Answer:

Total finance charge=$23.75

Explanation:

The amount charged for the use of the fund by a bank is called interest rate. Here it is quoted as 21% per annum but we will need to determine the approximate monthly rate by dividing by 12.

The total finance charge will be equal = Interest rate + advance fee

Monthly interest rate = 21/12 =1.75%

Interest payment = 1.75%× $500=$8.75

Advance fee = 3%× $500= $15

Total finance charge = $8.75 +  $15= $23.75

Total finance charge=$23.75
