We then average it as in Case L, and find the term of credit to be nearly 34 da. from May 10, the time at which the first debt is due; hence the equated time of payment is June 13. From the above we derive the following Rule.--I. Select the dale at which the first debt becomes due, and multiply each debt by its term of credit reckoned from the date selected. II. Divide the sum of the products by the sum of the debts, and the quotient will be the average term of credit, estimated from the date selected. When the earliest date is not the first of the month, it is often more convenient to take the first of the month as the standard date. WRITTEN EXERCISES. 2.
