I like driving small cars and I buy nearly identical ones whenever the old one needs replacing. Typically, I trade in my old car for a new one costing about $20000. Standard maintenance and repair costs are expected to be $500 in the first year (at the end of the year), $750 in the second year, increasing by $500 per year thereafter. Assume interest is 8% and straight line depreciation with a salvage value for the vehicle of $4000 after four years. a. What year would you replace the car? Enter The year number (1,2,3,or 4).
