Question A loan can be settled by monthly payments of $350 in four years at 5.5% compounded monthly. If the lender sells the loan contract after two years, calculate the selling price if the new buyer's rate of return is: 1. 5.5% compounded monthly; 2.5.0% compounded monthly. 3. Explain the impact on the selling price of a loan contract if the interest rate on the contract increases.

With the following information, compute the net benefit of refinancing: Current loan balance: $200,000 Remaining term: 15 years Interest rate: 6.5% Old loan monthly payment: $1742.22 Expected number of future payments you will make: 72 Interest rate available on a new loan: 4.5% Cost of refinancing:5% of the outstanding balance. what is the resulting net benefit?

Problem: You are interested in a fixed-rate mortgage for $399,000 and need to choose the between options: a 15-year mortgage or a 30- year mortgage. The current mortgage rate is 3.75% for the 15-year mortgage, and 3.25% for the 30-year mortgage. Both require a 15% down payment. (Hint: make use of the amortization formula from Chapter 12). (a) What are the monthly principal and interest payments for EACH loan? Show your work. (b) What is the total amount of interest paid on EACH loan? Show your work. (c) Overall, how much more interest is paid by choosing the 30-year mortgage? Show your work.

1. A loan with the following terms is being made: Fixed rate, constant payment 9% interest rate $70,000 desired mortgage amount. $1,500 loan discount points paid by the buyer/borrower to the lender 25-year term, monthly payments a. Calculate the APR for federal truth-in-lending purposes (assume that the discount points are paid up front by the borrow and rolled into the loan principal). b. Do you think that the APR calculated in (a) reflects the likely return that the lender will receive over the term of the loan? List specific reasons that the lender's actual return might be different than the APR.

The principal P is borrowed and the loan's future value A at time t is given. Determine the loan's simple interest rate r. P = $3800.00, A = $3885.50, t = 3 months S % (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent as needed.)

What is the effective yield to the lender through the date of prepayment on a $540,000 fixed rate mortgage loan fully amortizing over 30 years but paid off after 10 years if the stated annual interest rate is 6.50%, the lender charges 2.0% as an origination fee, $720 for an appraisal and $36 for a credit report and there is no prepayment penalty? -6.81% -6.71% -6.30% -6.50%

A homeowner can obtain a $250,000, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a rate of 6.0% with zero points or at a rate of 5.5% with 2.25 points. If you will keep the mortgage for 30 years, what is the net present value of paying the points (to the nearest dollar)?     A. $7,564   B. $7,222   C. $8,360   D. $9,475

Consider two loans with a 1-year maturity and identical face values: a(n) 8.3% loan with a 0.99% loan origination fee and a(n) 8.3% loan with a 4.9% (no-interest) compensating balance requirement. Which loan would have the higher effective annual rate (EAR)? Why? The EAR in the first case is %. (Round to one decimal place.)

K Compare the monthly payments and total loan costs for the following pairs of loan options. Assume that both loans are fixed rate and have the same closing costs. You need a $110,000 loan. Option 1: a 30-year loan at an APR of 9.5% Option 2: a 15-year loan at an APR of 9% Find the monthly payment for each option. The monthly payment for option 1 is $ The monthly payment for option 2 is $ (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cent as needed.)
