Discount of 2% on $3,500 70.00$

$3,500 invested at 10% f or 20 days 19.18

Savings by taking the discount 50.82$

Example: 2% for 20 days = Annual rate of 36.5% (365/20 = 18.25 twenty-day periods x 2% = 36.5%)

Passing up the discount offered equates to paying an interest rate of 2% on the use of $3,500 for 20 days.
