What would be the total cost of leasing a vehicle for four years that requires a security deposit of $1000 (which would be withdrawn from your investment portfolio, which earns 8 percent per year, compounded annually), has monthly lease payments of $500, and has a kilometre restriction of 20 000 with excess kilometres resulting in a charge of 10 cents per kilometre? (Assume that, over the life of the lease, you exceed the kilometre limit by 8000.)
