7. 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 $44,000. The
dealer has a special
leasing arrangement where you pay $1,000 per month, at the
beginning of each 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 3.6% APR. You believe you will be
able to sell the car for
$25,000 in three years. Assume that all payments occur at the end
of each month.
(a) Should you buy or lease the car? Provide all the
equations.
(b) What break-even resale price in three years would make
you
indifferent between buying and leasing?
Could you explain the question in detail with formula plz! I don't understand others poster answers.
SEE THE IMAGE. ANY DOUBTS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. THUMBS UP PLEASE
LEASE PAYMENTS ARE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR
SO WE HAVE TO FIND PVIFAD = PRESENT VALUE OF ANNUITY DUE = FORMULA SHOWN
THERE IS NO NEED TO FIND MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF LOAN, THE RATE GIVEN IS TO BE USED FOR FINDING PRESENT VALUE OF LEASE PAYMENTS
