A used car that currently costs $25,000 will have a market value of $8,000 in four years. As a student, you cannot afford to pay
$25,000, but you want to have a car while you are going to university for the next four years. Your father agrees to lend you
$25,000 on the condition that you pay him $300 at the end of every month for the next four years and $25,000 at the end of the
four years. The car dealer provides financing facilities, and you are qualified to get a lease for which you will have to make
monthly, end-of-month payments of $650 for 48 months. Which option will leave you better off, assuming your opportunity cost is
6 percent?
After deciding to buy a new car, you can either lease the car or purchase it on a three-year loan. The car you wish to buy costs $35,000. The dealer has a special leasing arrangement where you pay $99 today and $499 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at a 6% APR. You believe you will be able to sell the car for $23,000 in three years. All final answers are rounded to the nearest dollar. Choose all correct statements from the below.
Question 6 options:
If you sell the car after three years, the PV of purchasing the car is $15,780.
Purchasing is always preferable if the APR is below 6%.
The PV of leasing the car is $17,502.
If the APR increases to 8.4%, you should lease the car.
You should lease the car given that the PV of leasing is higher.
After deciding to buy a new car, you can either lease the car or purchase it on a three-
