Horizon Ford advertises that it will sell you a Taurus for $24,000 or lease it to you. To lease it, you must make a down payment of $3,000 and agree to pay $3,000 at the end of each of the next two years.
After the last lease payment, you may buy the car for $20,000. If you plan to keep the car until it falls apart (at least a decade) and the interest rate is 10%, which approach has a lower present value of costs?
