Mark is planning to buy a high-end laptap. The market price of the laptap is $2000. While making the purchase, along with the regular replacement warranty for a year, he is also offered an extended warranty for two more years at a price of $300. The probability of the laptap malfunctioning each year is 20%. It is also expected that a similar laptap will cost $1500 after the end of the first year, and $1000 after the end of the second year. The current market rate of interest is 10%. (a) What is the present value of having the extended warranty during the third year of ownership? (b) What is the net present value of buying the warranty?

Chris Svenson is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a new car costing $18,000. If he leases, he’ll have to pay a $600 security deposit and monthly payments of $425 over the 36-month term of the closed-end lease. On the other hand, if he buys the car then he’ll have to make a $2,400 down payment and will finance the balance with a 36-month loan requiring monthly payments of $515; he’ll also have to pay a 6 percent sales tax ($1,080) on the purchase price, and he expects the car to have a residual value of $6,500 at the end of 3 years. Chris can earn 4 percent interest on his savings. Use the automobile lease versus purchase analysis form to find the total cost of both the lease and the purchase and then recommend the best strategy for Chris.
