    a. Customer Y can deduct 2% of the $4,500 invoice if it pays within 15 days. 2% of $4,500 = $90 So, Customer Y can deduct $90 from the bill if it pays on day 15. b. If customer Y passes up the cash discount, it will have to pay the full amount of $4,500 within the next 60 days. So, the extra days of credit that company Y can receive by passing up the cash discount will be: 60 days - 15 days = 45 days c. To calculate the effective annual rate of interest, we need to use the following formula: Effective annual rate = (1 + discount rate / (1 - discount rate) x (365 / credit period - discount period) x 100% Where, Discount rate = 2% / (100% - 2%) = 2.04% Credit period = 60 days Discount period = 15 days Putting these values in the formula, we get: Effective annual rate = (1 + 0.0204 / (1 - 0.0204) x (365 / (60 - 15)) x 100% Effective annual rate = 22.12% So, the effective annual rate of interest that customer Y would have to pay if it doesn't take the cash discount and pays on the due date is 22.12%.
