Answer:
total economic cost = $25,211.58
total accounting cost = $24,800
Explanation:
the total economic cost of leasing the vehicle includes the lease costs (monthly lease payments) plus the payment for excess miles (8,000 miles x 10 cents) plus the opportunity cost of the money withdrawn for the security deposit ($1,000 x 1.09⁴):
total economic cost = ($500 x 4 x 12) + (8,000 x $0.10) + ($1,000 x 1.09⁴) = $24,000 + $800 + $411.58 = $25,211.58
total accounting cost = ($500 x 4 x 12) + (8,000 x $0.10) = $24,000
