Answer:
Consider the following calculation and analysis
Explanation:
We will analyse from cost perspective, the alternative with lower cost should be selected.
Total no. of doctor visit = 12 monthly visit + 3 times special visit = 15
Cost = 50 * 15 = $750
Under Traditional health checkup plan
Cost of plan = $ 250 + (20% of doctor visiting charges) = 250 + 20% of 750 = $400
Under HMO
Premium = 20 * 12 months = $240
Co payment = 10 * 15 = 150
Total = $ 390
There is a saving of $10 in HMO, so she should opt for this option. Moreover, the benefit of HMO would be the payments are monthly in small installments ,rather than a big outflow as in the case of traditonal plan.
The answer is right, if not are there choices
I just took this test a few days ago and the answer was none of the above. Hope this helps.
Let x = the price of the car that Olivia can afford.
Down payment = $2,500
Remaining amount to be financed is P = x - 2500.
Total payments should equal the monthly payments.
The total payment over 4 years (48 months) is
A = $185*48 = $8,880
The rate is r = 4.9% = 0.049.
The compounding interval is n = 12.
The time is t = 4 years.
The amount financed is P = $(x - 2500).
Therefore
(x - 2500)(1 + 0.049/12)⁴⁸ = 8880
1.216(x - 2500) = 8880
x - 2500 = 7302.63
x = 9802.63
Olivia can afford a car priced at $9,802.63.
Answer: $9,802.63
