How does this equation work?

With a lease, you pay a fixed amount per month. When buying, you pay a one-time purchase price, plus monthly costs for maintenance and insurance, but you take the residual value into account.

Total cost of buying = Purchase price + (Monthly costs × term) − Residual value
