Answer:

  a. 16.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

By not taking the discount, the company pays ...

  1/(1 -0.03) -1 ≈ 3.0928%

for the use of the creditor's money for 85 -15 = 70 days.

This translates to an annual rate x according to the proportion ...

  3.0928%/70 = x/365

  x = (365/70)(3.0928%) ≈ 16.13%

The APR of the credit the company is using is about 16.13%.
