An apartment requires a 12-month lease. The terms of the lease require you to pay $1, 000 upfront when you move in (the first month's $500 rent, plus a $500 security deposit). You then must pay S 500 monthly per month, except at the end of the 12th month when you do not pay but receive your $500 security deposit back. What is the present value cost of this lease to you if your prevailing interest rate is the (absurdly large) 3.26% per month? (You can use a spreadsheet.)
