a) $25,000 3 x $1,000 + $25,000 = $28,000
b) 3 x $1,000 + $25,000 - $10,000 = $18,000
c) $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000

The correct answer is B) 3 x $1,000 + $25,000 - $10,000 = $18,000

Explanation:

John's estimated cost of owning and driving the car for three years is calculated with three elements.  

Initial investment $25,000Cost of maintenance $1,000 each year Savage value  $10,000

We add  Initial investment with Cost of maintenance,  Savage value  must be discounted because we recover that money at the end of the 3 years.  

So,

Cost of owning and driving the car= Initial investment + Cost of maintenance-Savage value

Cost=$25,000+ 3 x $1,000 - $10,000 = $18,000
