A student just entering college needs a used car so that he can earn part of his college expenses.

If he buys the cheap car and it is "totaled" through excessive repair costs, he will not buy another cheap car.
Rather, he will move up to a good used car like the one he is currently considering. Similarly, if he buys a good used car and it is totaled through excessive repair costs, he will not buy another "good" car, but will move down?, to a "cheap" car like the one currently under consideration. "Repairs above normal are $300 per year, while ''major repairs" are $600 per year for each of the student's four years of college. Note that normal repair costs represent a zero baseline.
Assume a salvage value of $500 for each car if totaled and no more than one such "total disaster" occurring. Further assume that the replacement cost is simply the
