For a credit card billing period, describe how the average daily balance is determined. Why is this computation somewhat tedious when done by hand?
Suppose that you are buying a car for \(\$ 56,000\), including taxes and license fees. You saved \(\$ 8000\) for a down payment. The dealer is offering you two incentives: Incentive \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(\$ 10,000\) off the price of the car, followed by a four-year loan at \(12.5 \%\). Incentive \(\mathrm{B}\) does not have a cash rebate, but provides free financing (no interest) over four years. What is the difference in monthly payments between the two offers? Which incentive is the better deal?
