Explanation / Answer
Calulation of effective interest rate is based on the following calculation:
Discount %/(1-Discount %) x (360/(Full allowed payment days - Discount days))
Here the customer does not take the discount in all four situations so annual interest rate the firm earn is ZERO in all the four situation
