![The "one time good deal" Cash-For-Clunkers
program offered by the federal government
proved a temporary boon for car dealers. In
addition to this program, dealers were eager to
add their own incentives. Bill Mitselfik was
considering two different deals he could make for
his new car. He can finance the purchase price,
$25,000, entirely through the dealer at a 1.9% APR
(compounded monthly) for 5 years, with payments
monthly. Alternatively, the dealer will give Bill a
cash rebate and provide financing at 9% APR
(compounded monthly) for 5 years, with monthly
payments. What is the value of the rebate for
which Bill would be indifferent between the two
financing options?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F36270b33-dfb7-4672-9d43-bc2617ad1bf2%2Fee7d3398-0580-4718-9355-2c093efe8b5a%2Fu2gn6lf_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
