The mortgage on your house is five years old. It required monthly payments of $1402, had an original term of 30 years, and had an interest rate of 10% (APR). In the intervening five years, interest rates have fallen and so you have decided to refinance—that is, you will roll over the outstanding balance into a new mortgage. The new mortgage has a 30-year term, requires monthly payments, and has an interest rate of
- a. What monthly repayments will be required with the new loan?
- b. If you still want to pay off the mortgage in 25 years, what monthly payment should you make after you refinance?
- c. Suppose you are willing to continue making monthly payments of $1402. How long will it take you to pay off the mortgage after refinancing?
- d. Suppose you are willing to continue making monthly payments of $1402, and want to pay off the mortgage in 25 years. How much additional cash can you borrow today as part of the refinancing?

- Use the tables in Appendix B to answer the following questions. A. If you would like to accumulate $4,200 over the next 6 years when the interest rate is 8%, how much do you need to deposit in the account? B. If you place $8,700 in a savings account, how much will you have at the end of 12 years with an interest rate of 8%? C. You invest $2,000 per year, at the end of the year, for 20 years at 10% interest. How much will you have at the end of 20 years? D. You win the lottery and can either receive $500,000 as a lump sum or $60,000 per year for 20 years. Assuming you can earn 3% interest, which do you recommend and why?arrow_forwardThe mortgage on your house is five years old. It required monthly payments of $1,450 , had an original term of 30 years, and had an interest rate of 10% (APR).

How long will it take you to pay off the mortgage after refinancing? d. Suppose you are willing to continue making monthly payments of and want to pay off the mortgage in 25 years. How much additional cash can you borrow today as part of the refinancing?arrow_forwardYou have secured a loan from your bank for two years to build your home. The terms of the loan are that you will borrow $200,000 now and an additional $100,000 in one year. Interest of 10 percent APR will be charged on the balance monthly. Since no payments will be made during the 2 -year loan, the balance will grow at the 10 percent compounded rate. At the end of the two years, the balance will be converted to a traditional 30-year mortgage at a 6 percent interest rate. What will you be paying as monthly mortgage payments (principal and interest only)?arrow_forward

Suppose you cannot make the mortgage payment and you are in danger of losing your house to foreclosure. The bank has offered to renegotiate your loan. The bank expects to get $119,799 for the house if it forecloses. They will lower your payment as long as they will receive at least this amount (in present value terms). If current 22-year mortgage interest rates have dropped to 6.198% (APR), what is the lowest monthly payment you could make for the remaining life of your loan that would be attractive to the bank?arrow_forwardA homeowner took out a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage of $160,000. The mortgage was taken out 5 years ago at a rate of 8 percent. If the homeowner refinances, the charges will be $1,200. What is the highest interest rate at which it would be beneficial to refinance the mortgage?arrow_forwardYou are considering refinancing your home’s 30 year mortgage at a lower interest rate. Your original loan amount was $85,000 and your current monthly payment is $683.93. Assuming you wish to continue paying the same monthly amount on a new 30 year mortgage, how much cash can you pull out from refinancing the current loan balance at 6% now that you have been in the home for five years?arrow_forward
- Four years ago, you took out a $375,000, 25-year mortgage with an interest rate of 5% and a 3% prepayment fee applicable for the first five years. If you decide to pay off this mortgage now, what will the balance due be?arrow_forwardWhen you purchased your house, you took out a 30-year mortgage with an interest rate of 4.8% per year. The monthly payment on the mortgage $1,500. You have just made a payment and have now decided to pay the mortgage off by repaying the outstanding balance. What is the payoff amount if you have lived in the house for 18 years (so there are 12 years left on the mortgage)? Payoff amount is $arrow_forwardTen years ago you took out $200,000, 30-year mortgage with an annual interest rate of 9 percent and monthly payments of $1,609.25. But since you took out that loan, interest rates have dropped. i. Determine the outstanding balance on your current loan for the remaining 240 payments. ii. If you refinance your loan at an annual rate of 7 percent, calculate the new monthly payment for another 20 years.arrow_forward
- Your new 30-year mortgage includes borrowing $425,000 at an APR of 4.78%. If you paid 20% down when you bought this house, and if the value of the property grows at about 3.0% a year, how much will you have to invest if you sell the house after 14 years? (Ignore any taxes or fees on the purchase/sale of the house.)arrow_forwardYour mortgage has 24 years left, and has an APR of 6.303% with monthly payments of $1,449. a.

Today the mortgage rate on 25-year fixed-rate mortgages is 7.20% and you are considering refinancing. The existing loan does not have a prepayment penalty but lenders are charging 4.00% financing costs on new loans. Your opportunity investment rate is 8.5%. a. If you plan to hold the mortgage financing for the next 25 years (whether you refinance or not), what is the NPV of refinancing? Assume that you would refinance the payoff of the existing loan and the new loan amortization would be for 25 years. b. What is the NPV of refinancing if you refinance the payoff of the existing loan for 25 years but you plan to hold the financing for only eight more years?arrow_forward
