Explanation:

Nick is deciding to acquire membership in municipal swimming pool in Charlotte, North Carolina. There are three different ways for the payment. The lump sum initial is $38 which is difficult for Nick to finance. Also if Nick is unable to go for swim he will lose $38. The per day deposit is suitable option for Nick as he will only have to pay when he goes for swim.
