Question
![The Bainter family is moving to a new town and needs a place to live. The Bainters are considering renting or purchasing a home and have found a suitable option for each option.
• The home for sale is listed at $150,000.00. They have $30,000.00 for a down payment and are qualified for a fixed rate 30-year mortgage with an annual interest rate of 4.2%.
• The rental home is currently $900.00 per month, with rent expected to increase approximately $75.00 every 4 years.
1. Calculate the monthly mortgage payment amount using the formula: M = P_*(¹+r)"
(1+r)"=1*
2. For each option, calculate the total costs after 1 year, 5 years, 10 years and 15 years. Include additional costs of home ownership such as taxes and home insurance.
3. Consider advantages and disadvantages of renting versus purchasing a home.
4. Determine which option is better over each interval: 1 year, 5 years, 10 years and 15 years. Defend conclusions with evidence.

Factors to Consider
Each person has their own unique circumstances when choosing whether to rent or purchase a home. These are several factors to consider:
1. Length of time: The longer a person plans on living in an area, the more they can spread out the additional costs of purchasing a home.
2. Property value: Note the median housing price declined in the late 2000s due to a housing recession.
3. Additional costs: When purchasing a home, closing costs, interest on a mortgage, down payment, higher insurance, and property taxes can add up quickly.
4. Tax savings: Changes to tax laws may result in an owner not being able to deduct interest on income taxes.
