Answer:

$2647.13

$2648.08

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the value of each loan we will use the formula:

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]

Let's break down the variables that we have.

P = $2,600

r = 7.25% or 0.0725

r2 = 7.50% or 0.0750

t = 90 days

Now since we're computing for two different types of interest, let's take it one at a time.

First the State Saving and Loan.

In this situation we are solving for ordinary interest, where we compute with the total number of days are 360

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1+(0.0725)(\dfrac{90}{360})[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1+(0.0725)(0.25)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1+0.018125)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1.018125)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,647.13[/tex]

The maturity value of State Savings and Loan is $2,647.13.

Now let's move on to the Security bank.

The security bank charges 7.5% exact interest. For exact interest we use 365 days.

[tex]A=2,600(1+(0.0750)(\dfrac{90}{365})[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1+(0.0750)(0.246575)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1+(0.0184931)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,600(1.0184931)[/tex]

[tex]A=2,648.08[/tex]

The maturity value of the Security bank is $2,648.08.
