After deciding to acquire a new car, you realize you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you

want costs $32,500. The dealer has a leasing arrangement where you pay $94 today and $494 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at an APR of 6 percent. You believe that you will be able to sell the car for $20,500 in three years.a. What is the present value of purchasing the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16)b. What is the present value of leasing the car?

Answer:

a. $15,369.28

b. $16,332.28

c. $19,347.60

Explanation:

a. What is the present value of purchasing the car?

PV of resale = SP ÷ (1 + r)^n ................................................. (1)

Where SP = Resales proceed = $20,500

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

PV of resale = $20,500 ÷ (1 + 0.005)^36 = $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = Purchase price - PV of resale

= $32,500 - $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = $15,369.28

Therefore, the present value of purchasing the car $15,369.28.

b. What is the present value of leasing the car?

PV of future period payment can be calculated using the following formula:

PV of monthly payment = M × 1 - (1 + r)^-n ÷ r .......................................... (2)

Where,

M = monthly payment = $494

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (2), we have:

PV of monthly payment = $494 × {[1 - (1 + 0.005)^-36] ÷ 0.005}

PV of monthly payment = $16,238.2820221969

PV of leasing the car = Today's payment + PV of monthly payment

= $94 + $16,238.2820221969

PV of leasing the car = $16,332.28

Therefore, PV of leasing the car is $16,332.28.

c. What break-even resale price in three years would make you indifferent between buying and leasing?

This will be calculated by equating the PV of leasing the car to the difference between the purchase price and the PV of resale as follows:

PV of leasing car = Purchase price - PV of resale

$16,332.28 = $32,500 - PV of resale

Solving for PV of resale, we have:

PV of resale = $16,167.72.

The future value (FV) of resale price in 3 years can be calculated as follows:

FV of resale = PV of resale × (1 + r)^n

FV of resale = $16,167.72 × (1 + 0.005)^36 = $19,347.60

Therefore, the break even resale price in 3 years is $19,347.60.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3$

Explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=5000$ represent the sample mean

$s=800$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=16$ sample size

$\mu_o =5600$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 5600$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 5600$

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3$
