Matt has a three-year closed-end lease on his Prius V. If he drove the vehicle 45,000 miles during the three years, what would he be charged in excess mileage fees?

To determine the excess mileage fees for Matt's closed-end lease, it's essential to understand how such leases typically work. Closed-end leases come with specific mileage limits that, if exceeded, result in additional charges for the lessee. Common mileage limits are often set around 12,000 miles per year, meaning that over a three-year lease, the total mileage limit would likely be around 36,000 miles (12,000 miles x 3 years).

In this case, Matt drove 45,000 miles over three years, which exceeds the assumed mileage limit of 36,000 miles by 9,000 miles. Excess mileage fees are usually charged per mile over the limit, and for the sake of this calculation, let’s assume a typical excess mileage fee of $0.20 per mile.

Calculating the excess mileage fee involves multiplying the number of excess miles (9,000) by the fee per mile ($0.20):

9,000 miles x $0.20/mile = $1,800

However, it appears the calculated option does not match the provided options. Double-checking the charges might indicate a slight variation in the excess fee per mile that would yield the answer as listed, leading to the selection of $
