2- A local car dealer is advertising two leasing options for its new XT 3000 series sports car. Option A: is a standard 24-month lease of $1150 per month. In addition, this option requires a down payment of $4500, plus a $1000 refundable initial deposit. In option A, the lease payments are due at the beginning of every month. For example, the first lease payment (equal to $1150) is due at the beginning of month 1. Option B: In this option, the company offers a 24-month lease plan that has only a single up-front payment of $31000 (which is paid at the beginning of month one) Note: The initial deposit in option A will be refunded to the customer at the end of month 24. Assume an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly. Which option is better for the customer
