Expert Solution
Introduction

A credit card is a financial service offered by banks and other financial institutions to their customers. In this service, a credit card holder can make merchant payments by borrowing from their banks or financial institutions and pay later them along with some finance charges thereon. 

All credit cards have their billing cycle, i.e., a billing period time between two settlement dates. The interest rate for calculating the outstanding amount is decided by the lender.
