To find the average daily balance, divide the total of the "Unpaid Balance × Number of Days" by the number of days in the month (30 days).

\[
\text{Average Daily Balance} = \frac{\text{Total of Unpaid Balance × Number of Days}}{\text{Number of Days in the Month}} = \frac{55892.00}{30} = 1863.06
\]

**Answer:** $1863.06

**(c)** **Interest Calculation:**

The interest rate charged by the credit card company is 1.4% on the average daily balance for June.

\[
\text{Interest} = \text{Average Daily Balance} \times \text{Interest Rate
