QUESTION 3 of 10: You opened a US Bank's Standard Savings account in January of this year with a 3% annual interest rate but there is a monthly maintenance fee of $4, which you can get waived if you keep a $300 minimum daily balance. If you can only keep up a $250 minimum balance, are you making money or losing money in the account?
a) Losing money
b) Making money

Answer

a) Losing money

With a $250 balance, you do not meet the $300 minimum to waive the $4 monthly fee. The interest earned on $250 at a 3% annual rate is $7.50 per year, or $0.625 per month. Since the monthly fee is $4, you are losing money.
