Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Here we have to determine the impact of not considering the discount
effective cost of not considering discount is
= ((1 + (r ÷ (1 - r))^(365 ÷ (due date - discount period)) - 1
= ((1 + (0.019 ÷ (1 - 0.019)))^(365 ÷ (30-10)))-1
= 39.30%
Since effective cost of not considering discount is more than the interest rate so the simon should entered into the loan agreement
