Chapter 5, Problem 45SP
(Nonannual compounding using a calculator) Ford’s current incentives for customers looking to buy a Mustang include either financing at an APR of 4.9 percent compounded monthly for 60 months or $1,000 cash back. Let’s assume Suzie Student wants to buy the premium Mustang convertible, which costs $25,000, and she has no down payment other than the cash back from Ford. If she chooses the $1,000 cash back, Suzie can borrow from the VTech Credit Union at an APR of 6.9 percent compounded monthly. What will Suzie Student’s monthly payment be under each option? Which option should she choose?

You are buying a new car, and you plan to finance your purchase with a loan you will repay over 48 months. The car dealer offers two options: either dealer financing with a low APR, or a $2500 rebate on the purchase price. If you use dealer financing, you will borrow $13,000 at an APR of 3.9%. If you take the rebate, you will reduce the amount you borrow to $10,500, but you will have to go to the local bank for a loan at an APR of 8.87%. To answer the first question below, you may need the following formula, where M is your monthly payment, in dollars, if you borrow P dollars with a term of 48 months at a monthly interest rate of r (as a decimal), and r = APR/12.
M =
Pr(1 + r)48
(1 + r)48 − 1
Should you take the dealer financing or the rebate?

Ford Motor Company's current incentives include 3.9 percent APR financing for 84 months or $1, 500 cash back on a Mustang. Let's assume Suzie Student wants to buy the premium Mustang convertible, which costs $21,000, and she has no down payment other than the cash back from Ford. If she chooses the S1, 500 cash back, Suzie can borrow from the VTech Credit Union at 5.9 percent APR for 84 months (Suzie's credit isn't as good as Prof. Finance). What will Suzie Student's monthly payment be under each option? Which option should she choose?

Incentive does not have a cash rebate, but provides free financing (no interest) over three years.

The car you wish to buy costs $38,600. the dealer has a special loan financing offer: if you make a 10% down payment, you qualify for a special 0.96% APR compounded monthly (much lower than the competitive market 3.6% APR compounded monthly). If you purchase the car with the loan, you expect to be able to sell it in 3 years for $22,000. If you lease the car, it has no residual value (you must turn it in at the end of the lease).
