There are two options to purchase a car: a 5-year loan vs. a lease of the car. The price of the car is $50,000. If you purchase the car, you are going to pay it off in monthly payments over the next 5 years at an annual percentage rate of 6.99 percent. You expect to sell the car for $28000 in five years. If you lease the car, you have to pay 20% of the price of the car today and $550 per month for the next five years. Should you lease or buy the car? What break-even resale price in five years would make you indifferent between two options? (Your answers should be accurate to the nearest dollar)

Cost of Credit

The cost of credit is an extra amount that the borrower has to pay besides the loan amount. These credit charges may vary from loan to loan. The cost of credit includes interest charges, maintenance charges, and arrangement charges. Some of the costs are mandatorily collected by the lender based on the loan amount and tenure of the loan. The cost of credit is also called finance charges of the credit.
