John is a very cost-conscious investor. His rule of thumb is that it costs $250 per year, starting in the first year of vehicle life to maintain an automobile. This expense increases by $250 each year over the life of the car. John is now considering the purchase of a five-year-old car with 40,000 miles on it for $8,000. How much money will John have to set aside now to pay for maintenance (as a lump sum) if he keeps this car for seven years? John’sinterest rate is 6% per year.
Joe's Taco Hut can purchase a delivery truck for $20,000, for which he will take out a loan from the bank. He estimates it will generate a net income (after taxes, maintenance, and operating costs) of $4,000 per year. His other option is to go to work for someone else earning net income of $3,000 per year. Assume that Joe can resell the truck for the entire purchase price of $20,000. What is the VMP for the delivery truck (Joe's MB if he buys it)? Please enter your answer as a numerical response and do not type out your answer as words (ie. $3000 not "Three thousand dollars"). Will Joe buy the delivery truck if the interest rate is 3%? Simply type either "Yes" or "No" into the answer box Will Joe buy the delivery truck if the interest rate is 7%? Simply type either "Yes" or "No" into the answer box What is the highest interest rate Joe would be willing to pay? Please enter your answer as a numerical response and do not type your answer as words (ie. 3% not Three percent").
solve the following problem: His father has asked him to advise him on remortgaging the house (remortgaging means taking out a new loan to pay for the house, depending on the fact that the value of the house has risen and they give him a loan for a greater amount). The house was purchased about 8 years ago at an initial value of $140,000 and a rate of 5.5% per year compounded monthly for twenty years. When performing a revaluation of the house the market value is $185,000. Therefore, a bank offers him an offer of 5.25% annual capitalized weekly to pay off the outstanding debt of the house and 6.5% annual capitalized daily to cover debts that his father has in credit cards and loans, the term would be for a few 15 more years (both loans). His father has a debt in cards in the order of $45,000 and you want to know how much they would lend you to cover the cards, since due to market conditions they only offer you a maximum amount of 80% of the market value of the house.
