To calculate: The points that Person X will be willing to pay the interest rate
Introduction:
The total sum of interest that is due for a particular time is the interest rate. The interest rate can be due for a period as a proportion of the sum borrowed or deposited and as the proportion of the sum lent.
The annual rate that is earned from the investment or charged for a borrowing is an annual percentage rate and it is also represented as APR. Thus, the APR is calculated by multiplying the rate of interest for a period with the number of months in a year. The effective annual rate is the rate of interest that is expressed as if it were compounded once in a year.
Answer to Problem 65QP
The maximum points that Person X would be willing to pay is 0.1601 or 1.601 points
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Person X purchases a house and borrows $200,000 on a thirty year fixed rate mortgage. Person X has to pay on monthly basis to finance the purchase. The loan officer of Person X has offered him a mortgage with an annual percentage rate of 4%. The loan officer states Person X an alternative that he can buy down the rate of interest to 3.75% if he pays points up front on the loan. A point on the loan is 1% of the loan value.
Person X believes that he lives only for 8 years in the house before selling the house and purchase a new house. Thus, the Person X pays off the remaining balance of the real mortgage.
Note: The loan payment is for the first eight years and the remaining payment will be a balloon payment at the end. Thus there will be a 264-month payment.
Formula to calculate the monthly rate:
Compute the monthly rate with the original interest:
Hence, the monthly rate is 0.00333 or 0.333%
Formula to calculate the present value
Note: C represents the annual cash flow, r is the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period. The loan payments with the points are based on the original amount borrowed.
Compute the present value annuity:
Hence, the value for C is $954.83
Formula to calculate the balloon payment:
Note: C denotes the annual cash flow, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period. The balloon payment is calculated using the formulae of the present value of annuity.
Compute the balloon payment using the formulae of the present value annuity:
Hence, the balloon payment is $167,460.95
Time line of the payments:
Compute the equation for amount borrowed:
Note: The actual amount that is received in front of the mortgage is the sum of borrowed amount and the points. Considering as X as the dollar amount of the points. The maximum number of points can be solved as it results in the cash flows that have a new rate of interest of 3.75%.
Formula to calculate the monthly rate:
Compute the monthly rate with the original interest:
Hence, the monthly rate is 0.00313 or 0.313%
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: To determine the maximum number of points that Person X is willing to pay, it is essential to set the annual percentage rate and the effective annual rate of loan with points and without points to be equal.
Compute the cash flows for maximum points using the formulae of present value annuity:
Hence, the maximum dollar amount is $3,202.16
Formula to calculate the maximum points:
Compute the maximum point:
Hence, the maximum points is 0.1601 or 1.601 points.

- Question # 3: Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $50000. Assume that this amount is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. Suppose you do not expect to receive any cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension. Then some of your future cost of living has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your savings account earns 7% interest a year, how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living over 25 years?arrow_forward4. Mortgage payments Mortgages, loans taken to purchase a property, involve regular payments at fixed intervals and are treated as reverse annuities. Mortgages are the reverse of annuities, because you get a lump-sum amount as a loan in the beginning, and then you make monthly payments to the lender. You've decided to buy a house that is valued at $1 million. You have $250,000 to use as a down payment on the house, and want to take out a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price. Your bank has approved your $750,000 mortgage, and is offering a standard 30-year mortgage at a 10% fixed nominal interest rate (called the loan's annual percentage rate or APR). Under this loan proposal, your mortgage payment will be $6,581.57 per month. (Note: Round the final value of any interest rate used to four decimal places.) Your friends suggest that you take a 15-year mortgage, because a 30-year mortgage is too long and you will pay a lot of money on interest.
