Given below are lease terms at the local dealership. What is the total cash due at signing?Terms:Length of lease = 24 monthsMSRP of the car = $17,500Purchase value of the car after lease = $9900Down payment = $2400Monthly payment = $425Security deposit = $375Acquisition fee = $500

Answer: $3,700

Explanation: 

Let 

[tex]C = \text{total cash due at signing} \\ \indent D = \text{Down payment} = \$ 2400 \\ \indent M = \text{Monthly payment} = \$ 425 \\ \indent S = \text{Security deposit} = \$ 375 \\ \indent A = \text{Acquisition fee} = \$ 500[/tex]

Note that the total cash due at signing a lease includes down payment, first monthly payment, security deposit and acquisition fee. So, the total cash due at signing is given by 

C = D + M + S + A
    = 2,400 + 425 + 375 + 500
C = $3,700
