Rebecca is moving away from New York City for her new job, so she must buy a car rather than rely on public transit. The new car she is considering will cost $ 18,000 to buy, $ 1,500 per year to insure, and $ 500 per year for maintenance after the 3-year warranty expires. She would keep the car for 7 years when it will have a salvage value of $ 7,000. She has found a 2-year-old car that is the same model for $ 13,000. The 3-year warranty is transferrable, so the annual maintenance cost of $500 starts in year 2. Because the car is less valuable, insurance is $300 per year less than for the new car. After 5 years, the vehicle will be 7 years old and will have the same salvage value of $ 7,000.Rebecca is ignoring costs for fuel, oil, tires and registration, because the two vehicles will have the same costs. If her interest rate is 9%, how much cheaper is the used car (difference of EAC of two vehicles)

For the past three years, the agent has been successful in renting it for 200 days. Karen and Andy use the beach house for one week during the summer and one week during Thanksgiving. Their daughter, Sarah, a college student, has asked if she and some friends can use the beach house for the week of spring break.
