Mark Rosenberg and Trina Adams are to be married in two months. Both are employed full time and currently have their own apartments. Once married, they will move into Trina's apartment because it is larger. They plan to use Mark's rent money to begin saving for a down payment on a home to be purchased in four or five years. Mark has a checking account at a branch of a large regional commercial bank near his workplace where he deposits his paychecks. He also has three savings accounts-one at his bank and two small accounts at a savings and loan association near where he went to college. Mark pays about $30 per month in fees on his various accounts. In addition, he has a $10,000 certificate of deposit (CD) from an inheritance; this CD will mature in five months. Trina has her paycheck directly deposited into her share draft account at the credit union where she works. She has a savings account at the credit union as well as a money market account at a stock brokerage firm that was set up…
Rebecca is moving away from New York City for her new job, so she must buy a car rather than rely on public transit. The new car she is considering will cost $ 18,000 to buy, $ 1,500 per year to insure, and $ 500 per year for maintenance after the 3-year warranty expires. She would keep the car for 7 years when it will have a salvage value of $ 7,000. She has found a 2-year-old car that is the same model for $ 13,000. The 3-year warranty is transferrable, so the annual maintenance cost of $500 starts in year 2. Because the car is less valuable, insurance is $300 per year less than for the new car. After 5 years, the vehicle will be 7 years old and will have the same salvage value of $ 7,000.Rebecca is ignoring costs for fuel, oil, tires and registration, because the two vehicles will have the same costs. If her interest rate is 9%, how much cheaper is the used car (difference of EAC of two vehicles)

He has a gross annual income of $100,000 and is concerned about how much his one-time up-front costs and recurring monthly costs will be.
