Question

QUESTION 9 A family now has four kids, and their subcompact car just isn't big enough for the kids and dog. They don't have a lot of money, so they will buy a used vehicle. They have three mutually exclusive options listed beloW. Assuming that the vehicles are available in the future with the same associated costs, choose a vehicle to buy using the annual worth (AW) method assuming that 9% Minivan B $4,500 $2,500 SUV C $8,000 $2,600 Crossover A Purchase Price $10,000 Yearly Maintenance, Gas $2,000 Cost, Insurance, eto. Salvage Expected Use in Years $5,700 $2,000 4,000

Explanation / Answer

Calculate the annual worth of Crossover A -

Annual worth = -$10,000 (A/P, 9%, 5) - $2,000 + $5,700(A/F, 9%, 5)

Annual worth = (-$10,000 * 0.25709) - $2,000 + ($5,700 * 0.16709)

Annual worth = -$2,570.9 - $2,000 + $952.41

Annual worth = -$3,618.49

So,

The annual worth of crossover A is -$3,618.49

Calculate the annual worth of Minivan B -

Annual worth = -$4,500(A/P, 9%, 3) - $2,500 + $2,000(A/F, 9%, 3)

Annual worth = (-$4,500 * 0.39505) - $2,500 + ($2,000 * 0.30505)

Annual worth = -$1,777.72 - $2,500 + $610.1

Annual worth = -$3,667.62

The annual worth of Minivan B is -$3,667.62

Calculate the annual worth of SUVC

Annual worth = -$8,000(A/P, 9%, 6) - $2,600 + $4,000(A/F, 9%, 6)

Annual worth = (-$8,000 * 0.22292) - $2,000 + ($4,000 * 0.13292)

Annual worth = -$1,783.36 - $2,000 + $531.68

Annual worth = -$3,251.68

The annual worth of SUVC is -$3,251.68

The annual worth of SUV C is numerically highest.

So,

The familly should buy SUVC.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).
