14. A freshman college student, who owns a car, plans to buy a motorcycle. The student expects to save an increasing amount of money on travel every year he is in college, as he will make less use of his car each year. How much money should he plan to save and put in the bank from his job this summer, in order to pay his travel costs for his remaining 3 years of college? Assume that the bank pays 8% per year, compounded annually, and that his travel costs will be $900 the first year, $700 the second year, and $500 the third year.
Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?
