Total Fees Calculation
These questions ask: "What are the total fees (in euros) that [Merchant] paid/should pay in [time period]?"
The answer is computed by: filtering transactions → matching each to exactly one fee rule → summing fee = fixed_amount + rate * eur_amount / 10000.

Key Rules
Rule selection — when multiple rules match, pick the most specific one (the rule with the most non-null / non-empty fields). Never use the first/lowest-ID rule.
Empty list [] in account_type, merchant_category_code, aci means the rule applies to ALL values (same as null).
No matching rule → fee = 0 for that transaction. This is expected; many transaction-type combinations are not covered by the fee schedule.
Monthly stats scope — always compute monthly_volume and monthly_fraud_rate over the full natural calendar month using all merchant transactions (including refused ones), even when the question asks about a single day within that month.
intracountry — compute directly as issuing_country == acquirer_country from payments.csv; do not look up the acquirer's country from merchant_data.json.
Refused transactions — exclude is_refused_by_adyen == True from the fee-paying transactions, but include them when computing monthly stats.
Expected Output
A single number rounded to 2 decimal places. If no applicable answer exists, output Not Applicable.
