Q1. Given the recent drop in mortgage interest rates, you have decided to refinance your home. Exactly 4 years ago, you obtained a Rs. 275,000.00 15-year mortgage with a fixed  of 11% APR, compounded monthly. Today, you can get a 15-year loan for the currently outstanding loan balance at 8% interest, compounded monthly. This loan, however, requires you to pay a Rs.250 appraisal fee and 3 points at the time of the refinancing (1 point equals 1% of the amount borrowed). Ignore tax considerations. If you refinance, how much will your new monthly payments be after you refinance?

Answer – 1

Solution:-

Borrowed Amount

P.V.A (11%, 15yrs)     (Refer P.V.A table)

Now, we will ascertain the interest amount for 4 years

  1. So, 2, 75,000 -  38242 =  2,36,758 (11%, 15yrs)

So, the monthly installment amount would be 3,186

       

       2, 36,758 - 33,909 = 2, 02,849 (11%, 14yrs)

       2, 02,849 - 30,051 = 1, 72,798 (11%, 13 yrs)

       1, 72,798 – 26,617 = 1, 46,180 (11%, 12 yrs)

Working of part 1 sums:-

Appraisal Charges – 250/-         (1)

And 3% * 1, 46,180 = 4,386       (2)

So, adding 1 & 2 we get 4,636

            Again, by applying the formula we can find out per month instalments charges on 1, 46,180

Borrowed Amount

 P.V.A (8%, 15yrs)     (Refer P.V.A table)

= 17,077 for 1 year

       12

= 1,423 for one month @ 8%

Q2. Ramesh and Laxmi wish to buy a new home. The price is Rs56, 500.00 and they plan to put 12% down. New Rahat Savings and Loan will lend them the remainder at a 12% fixed rate APR (Annual Percent Rate) for 30 years, with monthly payments to begin in one month. (Ignore taxes.) Suppose Ramesh wants to pay off the loan in 15 years. How much extra must he pay each month to do so?

Answer – 2

Solution:-

Formula:

NFA = A (1/i – 1/i(1+i)n)

56500*12/100 = 6780                                           (56500-6780 = 49720)

Join now!

49720 = Annuity (1/0.01 – 1/0.01(1.01)360)

49720 = Annuity (1/0.01 – 1/0.339)

           =Annuity (100 -2.78)

           = 97.22  

511.42 for 30 YEARS

49720 = Annuity(1/0.01 – 1/0.01(1.01)180 )

=1/0.01 – 1/0.01(5.99)

=1/0.01 – 1/0.0599)

=(100 - 16.69)

596.87 for 15 years                       Answer: 85.46
