Answer:

$10,425

Explanation:

Teresa's annual cost of renting:

rent x 12 months = $860 x 12 = $10,320
annual renter's insurance = $84
<u>implicit costs = lost interests = $700 x 3% = $21</u>

total $10,425

The $700 she left as security deposit should be returned to her at the end of the lease contract, so only the interest lost is considered a cost.

Answer:

$11,125

Explanation:

The total annual cost of renting is the total amount the tenant spends to be able to rent the apartment which includes the annual rent, the security deposit, the interest lost on the money used for the security deposit and the insurance cost.

Annual cost of renting= ($860*12)+$700+($700*3%)+$84

Annual cost of renting= $10,320+$700+$21+$84

Annual cost of renting= $11,125
