Leasing vs. Buying a Car

Question 18 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007

Calculate the monthly lease payment for a 36-month lease on a car with a $29,000 MSRP, a 79% residual value, and a money factor of 0.00365.

Answer
A
$358.64
B
$128.08
C
$169.17
D
$105.85

Explanation

First find the residual value: $29,000 × 0.79 = $22,910. The monthly depreciation charge is ($29,000 − $22,910) ÷ 36 = $169.17. The monthly finance charge is ($29,000 + $22,910) × 0.00365 = $189.47; together, the monthly lease payment is $358.64, choice A.
