FINCORP has two debtors who each make a $10, 000 purchase. Debtor 1 pays their account in 10 days, while debtor 2 pays in 30 days.    a)     In simple terms, what nominal annual interest rate is debtor 2 incurring for the benefit of delaying payment?   Note: base your answer on the following logic. If a borrower pays 3% for a 30-day loan, we could express the nominal annual rate as roughly 36.5% i.e 3% x 365/30 = 36.5%   that payment is due within 30 days but debtors will receive a 5 percent discount if they pay within 14 days.   I'm quite unsure if that 5% as it is a discount, is handy or the steps to calculate the nominal interest rate
