Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

For computing the least number of miles first we need to calculate the total annual costs for both the plans that are shown below:

For leasing: 

Fixed monthly cost = $480

So, yearly cost = $480 ×  12 = $5,760

Cost per mile = $0.04

Let x is the miles driven

So, the equation would be

= $5,760 + 0.04x ........................... (1)

Now In case of purchasing:

Fixed yearly cost = $4,800

Cost per mile = 0.08

The equation would be

= $4,800 + 0.08x ......................... (2)

Now equate these equations

So,

Cost of leasing ≤ Cost of purchasing

$5,760 + 0.04x ≤ $4,800 + 0.08x

$960 ≤ 0.04x

$24,000 ≤ x

Flauer [41]

Answer:

5.59%

$1,000 bonds carrying a 4% coupon rate, semiannual coupon $20, matures in 20 years

if you purchase the bonds at $715, the nominal annual rate of return = coupon payments / bond price = ($20 + $20) / $715 = $40 / $715 = 5.59%

The nominal annual rate of return is calculated by dividing the revenue generated by an investment by the cost of the investment.
