Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each

option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $$29,500,$ and Harold expects to

spend about $$800$ per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage

value will be $$11,700.$ Alternatively, Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $$3,835$ per year,

including maintenance. Assume a discount rate of $10$ percent.

Required:

Calculate the net present value of Harold's options. $($Future Value of $$1,$ Present Value of $$1,$ Future Value Annuity of $$1,$

Present Value Annuity of $$1.)$
