Answer:
The average lease payment for a new vehicle is just over $450 per month for a three-year lease, according to Experian's Q1 2019 State of the Automotive Finance Market report. That's about $100 less than the average monthly auto loan payment for a new car, which was $554.The average monthly payment on a new car was $523 in the first quarter of 2018, according to credit reporting agency Experian. But that's far from the true cost to own a car. For vehicles driven 15,000 miles a year, average car ownership costs were $8,469 a year, or about $706 a month, in 2017, according to AAA.
The choice between buying and leasing has often been a tough call. On one hand, buying involves higher monthly costs, but you own something in the end. On the other, a lease has lower monthly payments, but you get into a cycle where you never stop paying for a vehicle.

Answer:
The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery
Explanation:
Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce
Forward price=$1,500
The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500
Option 1
Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500
Option 2
If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;
The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year
Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)
1400+((4/100)×1400)
1400+56=$1456
Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456
If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44
(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44
The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery
When Federal reserve banks purchase government securities from commercial banks, they increase the reserves in the banking system and they also increase the lending ability of the commercial banks.
If the Federal reserves want to increase the reserves, what they do is to buy securities. They then make a deposit to the account held at the commercial bank.
An example is if the Feds should buy securities of 1000 dollars, the bank would be having an excess of 1000 dollars to lend.
