Answer:
$16,019.6
Explanation:
The amount of money Tracey puts down for the car = $0
The amount Tracey pays each month for the lease the car = $209.15
The number of years Tracey leases the car = 2 years
The amount at which Tracey can buy the car at the end of the lease, Pp = $11,000
The selling price of the car today = $13,500
The total amount Tracey pays while leasing the car for two years, L = $209.15/month × 2 years × 12 months/year = $5,019.6
The total cost of the car if Tracey buys it at the end of the lease, C = Pp + L
∴ C = $11,000 + $5,019.6 = $16,019.6
The total cost of the car if Tracey buys it at the end of the lease, C = $16,019.6.
