1. You have a choice of leasing a truck for six years at $9,000/year, paid at the end of each year, or buying the truck for $44,000. At the end of six years the truck would be worthless. The interest rate is 5.5%. Would you lease or buy? 2. A similar situation as #1: lease for $9,000/year, or buy for $44,000, but if you buy the truck, and pay to maintain the truck (e.g. change oil and other fluids, replace windshield wipers, belts, tires, etc.), which are $500/year, paid at the end of each year, then at the end of six years, the truck would be worth $2,000 and you could sell the truck. Would you lease or buy?
