You are considering buying a new fuel-efficient car for $12,000 (after trade-in on your current car) that gets 50 miles per gallon. Insurance premiums for the new and old car are $800 and $600 per year, respectively. You anticipate spending $1200 per year on repairs for the old car and having no repairs on the new car. Assume gas costs $3.50 per gallon. Over a five-year period, is it less expensive to keep your old car or buy the new car?arrow_forward
- Adirondack Savings Bank (ASB) has $1 million in new funds that must be allocated to home loans, personal loans, and automobile loans. The annual rates of return for the three types of loans are 6% for home loans, 10% for personal loans, and 11% for automobile loans. The bank's planning committee has decided that at least 40% of the new funds must be allocated to home loans. In addition, the planning committee has specified that the amount allocated to personal loans cannot exceed 60% of the amount allocated to automobile loans. (a) Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the amount of funds ASB should allocate to each type of loan to maximize the total annual return for the new funds.
