Leasing a machine requires making monthly payments of $6,000 for the next 5 years (i.e., at t = 1, 2, …, 60). Buying the machine today (t = 0) will cost you $320,000. Assume the machine is worthless after 5 years. You can borrow and lend at a semi-annually compounded interest rate of 6% (APR). Would you be better off by buying or leasing? Explain.
You are considering purchasing a new home. You will need to borrow $280,000 to purchase the home. A mortgage company offers you a 20-year fixed rate mortgage (240 months) at 9% APR (0.75% month).

3. You are purchasing a new home and need to borrow $325,000 from a mortgage lender. The mortgage lender quotes you a rate of 6.5% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage (with payments made at the end of each month). The mortgage lender also tells you that if you are willing to pay one point, they can offer you a lower rate of 6.25% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. One point is equal to 1% of the loan value. So if you take the lower rate and pay the points, you will need to borrow an additional $3,250 to cover points you are paying the lender. Assuming that you do not intend to prepay your mortgage (pay off your mortgage early), are you better off paying the one point and borrowing at 6.25% APR or just taking out the loan at 6.5% without any points?
