Suppose you need to decide between an apartment that costs $950/month for a month-to-month contract, or $800/month for an annual contract. The annual contract includes a 2-month early termination penalty if you leave before 12 months.

Which option would be more cost effective if you plan to stay for only 8 months?

• For 8 months, the total rent is the same, so neither is more cost effective than the other.

• It is always more cost effective to not pay a penalty.

• The month-to-month contract is more cost effective.

• The annual contract is more cost effective.

Suppose you are considering an apartment and are given the option to pay $450/month plus utilities, or you can pay $625/month with the utilities included.

Which option is most likely to be more cost effective?

• The total cost will be the same, so neither option is more cost effective.

• It is not possible to determine the answer without knowing the exact amount of the utilities.

• Paying $450 plus utilities will probably be more cost effective.

• Paying $625 with utilities included will probably be more cost effective.
