Assume that you have $51,000 in a bank account that can be invested in a CD at 2% interest compounded annually for the next 3 years. You are in the market for a new vehicle. Using Kelly Blue Book (www.kbb.com), determine the value of your existing vehicle (or calculate your lease payout amount at the current time). If you do not have a vehicle, there is no value for trade-in, no existing car loan, and no cost of lease payoff. Assume you have a FICO score of 753 (good enough to get a car loan or lease rate at the best value). Knowing your personal needs and wants, research auto sites to find a new vehicle of choice. Review the dealers lease rates/fees and the corresponding car loan interest availability. Include tax, dealer prep fees, and any other costs to remove the car from the lot. Go under the assumption that the vehicle will be driven 12,000 miles or less per year and it will be sold or returned in 36 months, regardless of how you take possession. Calculate the total out-of-pocket costs associated with (1) buying the vehicle and (2) leasing the vehicle. Based on this scenario, will you buy or lease the car? Your argument should: (1) provide the mathematical analysis of your lease versus buy decision, and (2) follow the results with a well-written entry that justifies your decision to lease or buy.

What is reflective writing? – Reflective writing is meant to encourage you to reveal your personal thoughts about your life experiences in relation to the content you are learning about. Reflection means taking some time to examine your own thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes and assumptions about your understanding of a topic, a situation or a problem. When you reflect, think about your own experiences and knowledge and how you arrived at that understanding. Often our thinking has been shaped by the values of our family and culture, an embarrassing or uncomfortable situation, our religion, past teachers, newspapers, TV shows and so on. There is no absolute right or wrong way with reflective thinking. But the key questions in reflective thinking are how? and why? rather than what? You are required to write about what you thought, felt and what made you feel uncomfortable and discuss the emotion of the key issues you choose. The aim for this assessment task is for you to become an active learner by asking questions and thinking critically about your own ideas.
