| 3. Computing and crediting interest. Under subsection 2, |
interest shall must be computed on the daily balances in the account from |
the date of receipt to the date of disbursement and shall must be |
credited to the account as of the last business day of each quarter of a |
calendar or fiscal year. If the such an account is closed or |
discontinued before the last business day of a quarter of a calendar or |
fiscal year, interest shall must be computed and credited as of the day |
the account is closed or discontinued. For the purposes of this section |
calculating interest under subsection 2, the mortgagee may take into |
account debit balances resulting from advances and may elect to compute |
interest on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarter and |
year, or on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. At least |
once a year, the mortgagee shall give the mortgagor a statement showing |
the interest credited on the escrow account during the period which that |
the statement covers. |
