Timothy Carter went out to eat with his girlfriend at a fancy restaurant. When he tried to pay the bill with his Mastercard credit card, he was told that the restaurant accepted only cash or American Express. His waiter suggested that he use the ATM across the street to withdraw cash using his credit card. Tim did as suggested and didn't pay attention to any fees until he received his credit card statement one month later. He was shocked to see the total fees (3.5 percent cash advance), and his APR was increased to 20.0%, Given the cost of the meal ($150) plus the associated fees, how much did his meal cost him?

Frustrated at the treatment he received by the bank appointed receiver; Heath is angry with Pestwac. Heath is looking for any opportunity to get back at them. He looks over his bank statements and notices some irregular transactions. It would seem as though someone discovered Heath’s password and instead of cleaning out his personal bank account, has instead made small weekly withdrawals to avoid detection. Over the space of one year, Heath has lost $2500. In addition, he thinks back to the circumstances of his loan with Pestwac. The loan manager, Jill, was very pushy. She mentioned the bank was running an internal competition amongst its staff to see who could close the most loans. In amongst the conversation she stated ‘look I really need this to go through quickly, if you sign up today I will offer you a sweet deal of 7% interest for the first five years. But the offer is only good today as the competition finishes at midnight’. Because Heath had a savings account with Pestwac, Jill…

She believes that a new employee might be stealing funds. “I have no proof,” she says, “but I’m fairly certain that the January 31, 2019, undeposited receipts amounted to more than $12,000, although the January 31 bank reconciliation prepared by the cashier (who works in the treasurer’s department) shows only $7,238.40. Also, the January bank reconciliation doesn’t show several checks that have been outstanding for a long time. The cashier told me that these checks needn’t appear on the reconciliation because he had notified the bank to stop payment on them and he had made the necessary adjustment on the books. Does that sound reasonable to you?”At your request, Kate shows you the following (unaudited) January 31, 2019, bank reconciliation prepared by the cashierYou discover that the $1,200 unrecorded bank credit represents a note collected by the bank on…
