Explanation of Solution
Given,
Initial payment is $2,400.
Monthly payment is $380.
Purchase cost of the car is $28,000.
Present value of resale price is $14,263.
Formula to calculate the present value under leasing option,
Where,
- PVIFA refers to present value interest factor
annuity.
Substitute $2,400 for the initial payment, $380 for the monthly payment,
Hence, the present value under leasing option is $14,891.
Formula to calculate the present value under the purchasing option,
Substitute $28,000 for the purchase cost and $14,263 for the present value of the resale price.
Hence, the present value under purchasing option is $13,727.
Hence, it is preferred to buy the car on lease as the value of the option of purchasing is very less as compared to the option of leasing.
Given,
Resale price is $17,000.
Annual interest rate is 6%.
Computation of the present value of the resale price,
Substitute $17,000 for the re sale price and 6% for annual interest rate.
Hence, the present value of the resale priceis $14,273.
Computation of the break even point,
Formula to calculate the breakeven point,
Substitute $13,109 for the present value and 0.5% for rate of interest.
Hence, the break even sale price of the car is $15,691.
Working notes:
Given,
Annual percentage rate is 6%.
Computation of monthly interest rate,
Hence, the monthly interest rate is 0.5%.
Given,
Purchase cost is $28,000.
Computation of present value under leasing option,
Hence, the present value of the resale price is $13,109.
The car should be purchased on lease.
