8. Example 1: Finance a vehicle You are purchasing a used car and need to borrow $5000 from the bank for four years at 9.5% interest, compounded monthly. a) Calculate the total amount paid to the bank for the loan. b) Calculate the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.

9. a) Calculate the total amount paid to the bank for the loan. A=P(1+i) n A=? P=$5,000, i=0.095/12, n=4x12=48 A=$5,000(1+0.095/12)48 A=$7,300.49

10. b) Calculate the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. I=A-P A=$7,300.49, P=$5,000 I=$7,300.49-5,000 I=2,300.49 The total interest is $2,300.49

11. Example 2: Lease a new Vehicle To lease a new car selling for $30 000, a customer agrees to pay a $2000 down payment and to make 48 monthly payments of $445. a) Calculate the total cost of leasing the vehicle b) Calculate the average cost per month over the life of the lease.

12. a) Calculate the total cost of leasing the vehicle Total cost = down payment + monthly payments = 2000 + (48 x 445) = 2000 + 21 360 = 23 360 Therefore, the total cost of leasing the car for four years will be $23,360.

13. b) Calculate the average cost per month over the life of the lease. $23,360 ÷ 48months = $486.67/month The average cost per month is $486.67
