    These worked-out solutions can be a great help when doing your homework.
    Just remember:
    I know it makes things easier to simply copy the worked-out solutions when doing your homework, but I recommend you try and solve the problem yourself, and then check your answer with the worked-out solution afterwords. You will be much more confident when you take a test if you've learned the reasoning behind the math, and not just how to get to the answer.

  • 7. Relocating

    You accept a job in Albany. You are moving from a different state and narrow your home search to a $150,000 house in Saratoga Springs and a $140,000 house in Cohoes.

    1. Which house has higher property taxes? How much higher are the taxes?
    2. The drive to work from the home in Saratoga Springs takes twice as much time as the drive to work from the house in Cohoes. Based on driving time, property taxes, and home price, which house do you prefer? Explain.

    • Worked-Out Solution
      1. Your property tax in Saratoga Springs is

        Your property tax in Cohoes is

        So the property taxes in Cohoes are $1295.23 greater than in Saratoga Springs.

      2. Suppose the drive from Saratoga Springs is 40 miles more round trip. At 200 trips per year with gas mileage of 20 miles per gallon and fuel cost of $4 per gallon, the additional cost of fuel (in commuting from Saratoga Springs) would be

        The additional cost of fuel in commuting from Saratoga Springs overshadows the difference in property tax. With the house in Cohoes costing $10,000 less, the most economical choice is to buy the home in Cohoes.
