Question: An article that has appeared in one of the Israeli newspapers, about a year ago, was titled as follows:

"The Cost of the Leasing Market to Private Customers-Around One Billion Shekels A Year."

According the article: "Car dealers charge private buyers of new cars higher prices (an extra 5%, on average), in order to subsidize the high discounts (estimated at around 20%) that the dealers have to give to their other group of customers-the leasing companies."

Please comment on the above.
