Answer:
Antonio and Replacement of Golf Clubs
a. He should cash the CD and use the proceeds to finance part of the golf clubs.
b. The reason is that he would pay more in in-store financing totaling $37.06 per annum than the net interest he would generate from the CD totaling $23.18 per annum. And Antonio would incur a net loss of $13.88 if the CD was renewed unlike the $5.74 if the CD were not renewed.
Explanation:
Option 1: Renew Certificate of Deposit (CD):
Interest earned = $33.48 ($600 * 5.58%)
Taxes = 10.30 ($33.48 * 30.75%)
Net Income = $23.18
Cost of in-store financing = $37.06 ($710 * 5.22%)
Net Loss(overall) = $13.88 ($37.06 - $23.18)
Option 2:
Sale-off of CD = $600
Net financing required = $110 ($710 - $600)
Cost of financing = $5.74 ($110 * 5.22%)

Current price = ?
Next, plug the numbers to the formula above to find Price;
0.055 = 45/ Price
0.055Price = 45
Divide both sides by 0.055;
Price = 45/ 0.055
Price = $818.18
