| Month | Previous Month’s Balance (in $) | Finance Charge (in $) | Purchases and Cash Advances (in $) | Payments and Credits (in $) | New Balance End of Month (in $) |
|-------|----------------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------|
| April | $642.17                          | $14.45                | $38.45                             | $85.00                      | $610.07                       |
| May   | $610.07                          | [To be calculated]    | $287.33                            | $125.00                     | [To be calculated]            |

For May:
- Finance Charge: \(\text{Annual rate} = 27\%\). To find the finance charge for the month, the rate is divided by 12 (months), resulting in a 2.25% monthly rate. Apply this to the April balance (\$610.07):
  \[
  \text{Finance Charge for May} = \$610.07 \times 0.0225 = \$13.73
  \]
  Round to the nearest cent.
  
- New Balance End of Month: 
  Add the finance charge and purchases to the previous balance, then subtract payments:
  \[
  \text{New Balance for May} = \$610.07 + \$13.73 + \$287.33 - \$125.00 = \$786.13
  \]
