Brooke lacks cash to pay for a $600 washing machine.  She could  buy it from the store on credit  by making 12 monthly  payments of $52.74 each. The total cost would then be $632.88. Instead, Brooke decides to deposit $50 a month in the bank until she has saved enough money to pay cash for the machine. One year later she had saved $642----in deposits  plus $42 in interest. When she goes back to the store, she finds that the washing machine now costs $660. Its price has gone up 10%.  Was postponing her purchase a good trade-off for Brooke? What other factors could be in play in this situation?
