Reference no: EM133364017

In her role as collections manager, Noreen has to compose a letter informing customers with overdue accounts that the interest rate has risen by 1 percent, effective 30 days from the date on the letter. This policy means Petro-Go's current interest rate is 14 percent and in 30 days will increase to 15 percent. Overdue accounts are charged with compounding interest (that is, interest on both the previous month's balance and the interest already charged on that month's balance).
