Two years ago, you purchased a $19,000 car, putting $3,500 down and borrowing the rest. Your loan was a 36-month fixed rate loan at a stated rate of 7.5% per year. You paid a non-refundable application fee of $100 at that time in cash. Interest rates have fallen during the last two years and a new bank now offers to refinance your car by lending you the balance due at a stated rate of 5.5% per year. You will use the proceeds of this loan to pay off the old loan. Suppose the new loan over the residual loan life requires a $200 non-refundable application fee. Given all this information, should you refinance? How much do you gain/lose if you do?

b)Yes, Gain $140.39

c)Yes, Gain $59.61
