A young couple has made a deposit of the first month's rent (equal to

$1,000) on a 6-month apartment lease. The deposit is refundable at

the end of six months if they stay until the end of the lease.

apartment only 6 months. Should they switch to the new apartment? Assume

an (admittedly unrealistic!) interest rate of 12% per month compounded monthly
