1. **State the problem:** Calculate the monthly finance charge for Susan's credit card with an APR of 7.3% and an average daily balance (ADB) of 112.74.
2. **Formula:** The monthly finance charge is calculated by multiplying the average daily balance by the monthly periodic rate.
3. **Calculate the monthly periodic rate:** APR is annual percentage rate, so monthly rate = \frac{7.3}{12} = 0.6083\% = 0.006083 (decimal form).
4. **Calculate the finance charge:**
$$\text{Finance Charge} = \text{ADB} \times \text{Monthly Rate} = 112.74 \times 0.006083$$
5. **Perform the multiplication:**
$$112.74 \times 0.006083 = 0.6855$$
6. **Round to nearest cent:**
$$0.6855 \approx 0.69$$
**Final answer:** 0.69
