Assume that the buyer borrowed enough cash to pay the balance on the last day of the discount period at an annual interest rate of 11% and paid it back on the last day of the credit period. Compute how much the buyer saved by following this strategy. (Use 365 days a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
