Question 15 • ****Spring 2026 Financial Math - MA2007 MQS21QXV
Buying now costs $6,000 + 36($726) = $32,136 over three years. Renting costs 37 monthly rent payments (the move-in month's rent plus 36 months of rent) and the $2,000 security deposit, for a total of 37r + $2,000. Setting this equal to the buying cost gives r = ($32,136 − $2,000) ÷ 37 ≈ $814, so the maximum monthly rent is about $814, choice C.
