    18.25% Maximum annual interest rate of that Mahan would be willing to pay in order to borrow the money necessary to settle the account payable

    Explanation:

    Discount offered = 2%

    Discount Period = 20 days

    Mahan company can avail discount on 20th day. so the number of day the loan will last are 40 (60 - 20) upto their credit period. Number of days in a year are considered as 365 days.

    Maximum Discount = (2% / 40) x 365 = 18.25%
