wire transfer fee of b = $9.50

To find:

Solution:

If four wire transfers are made per month then total monthly fees of both accounts is computed as follows:

Account a:

service fee of a + four wire transfers fee of a

23 + 4(7.50) = 23 + 30 = $ 53

Account b:

service fee of b + four wire transfers fee of b

14 + 4 (9.50) = 14 + 38 = $ 52

From the above results checking account b is the better deal because the total monthly fees amount to $52 while total monthly fees for checking account a amount to $53.
