According to an article in the macleans magazine cable


According to an article in the Maclean's magazine, "Cable, satellite and wireless companies may be charging illegal late fees. Companies may calculate a compounded late-fee rate of two percent a month. However, because they charge even if a customer is late by one week, that can mean an effective annualized interest rate above the maximum allowed by the Criminal Code: 60 percent." (Maclean's November 28, 2005, p.16.)

1) Calculate the annualized interest rate these companies are charging if the penalty is two percent a month. 

2) What if the penalty was two percent a week?
