Given the lack of specific amortization details here, the correct answer is based on the assumption that the calculation has been done correctly according to the provided narrative and table in the text. After 3 payments on a $72,000 mortgage at 7.5% for 25 years, the remaining balance would be $71,752.22.

Question 2

You are purchasing a home for $220,000. The down payment is 30% and the balance will be financed with a 20-year mortgage at 9% and 2 discount points. You put down a deposit of $5,000 (applied to the down payment) when the sales contract was signed. You also have these expenses: credit report, $70; appraisal fee, $110; title insurance premium, 1% of amount financed; title search, $225; and attorney's fees, $600. Find your amount due at the closing.

Accepted Answer

The down payment is 30% of $220,000, which is $66,000. The deposit of $5,000 is applied to this, leaving $61,000 due. The amount financed is $154,000 ($220,000 - $66,000). The discount points are 2% of $154,000, which is $3,080. The title insurance is 1% of $154,000, which is $1,540. Adding the other expenses: $70 (credit report) + $110 (appraisal fee) + $225 (title search) + $600 (attorney's fees) = $1,005. Total due at closing is $61,000 + $3,080 + $1,540 + $1,005 = $66,625.

Question 3

Lisa bought a home with an adjustable-rate mortgage. The margin on the loan is 4.2% and the rate cap is 5.75% over the life of the loan. If the current index rate is 6.6%, what is the calculated interest rate of the ARM?

Accepted Answer

The calculated interest rate of the ARM is the sum of the current index rate and the margin: 6.6% + 4.2% = 10.8%.

Question 4

A house is selling for $190,000. A deposit of $10,000 was made when the sales contract was signed. The down payment is 25% and the balance will be financed with a 25-year mortgage at 9% and 3 discount points. If the sellers are responsible for the broker's commission (6% of the purchase price); $1,250 in other closing costs; and the existing mortgage, with a balance of $70,000; what proceeds will they receive on the sale of the property?

Accepted Answer

First, calculate the down payment: 25% of $190,000 = $47,500. The financed amount is the purchase price minus the down payment: $190,000 - $47,500 = $142,500. The sellers pay 6% commission on the purchase price: 6% of $190,000 = $11,400. The total costs for the seller are the commission, other closing costs, and the existing mortgage balance: $11,400 + $1,250 + $70,000 = $82,650. The proceeds from the sale are the purchase price minus the total costs: $190,000 - $82,650 = $107,350.

Question 5

A house is selling for $150,000. A deposit of $20,000 was made when the sales contract was signed. The down payment is 30% and the balance will be financed with a 25-year mortgage at 4.25% and 4 discount points. If the sellers are responsible for the broker's commission (6% of the purchase price); $1,300 in other closing costs; and the existing mortgage, with a balance of $40,000; what proceeds will they receive on the sale of the property?

Accepted Answer

First, calculate the total amount the sellers will receive from the sale:- The purchase price is $150,000.- The broker's commission is 6% of $150,000, which is $9,000.- Other closing costs are $1,300.- The existing mortgage balance to be paid off is $40,000.The total amount the sellers have to pay is the sum of the broker's commission, other closing costs, and the existing mortgage, which is $9,000 + $1,300 + $40,000 = $50,300.The proceeds from the sale are the purchase price minus the total amount the sellers have to pay, which is $150,000 - $50,300 = $99,700.

Question 9

You are interested in purchasing a home listed at $120,000. The down payment is 30% and the balance will be financed with a 20-year mortgage at 9% and 3 discount points. You put down a deposit (applied to the down payment) of $15,000 when you signed the sales contract. You also have these expenses: credit report, $80; appraisal fee, $100; title insurance premium, 1% of amount financed; title search, $175; and attorneys fees, $600. Find your amount due at the closing.

Accepted Answer

First, calculate the down payment: 30% of $120,000 = $36,000. Since you've already put down a deposit of $15,000, you owe $21,000 more for the down payment. The amount financed is 70% of the home price (since you're paying 30% down), which is $84,000. The title insurance premium is 1% of $84,000 = $840. Adding up all the additional expenses: $21,000 (remaining down payment) + $80 (credit report) + $100 (appraisal fee) + $840 (title insurance) + $175 (title search) + $600 (attorney's fees) + $2,520 (3 discount points, which are 3% of the amount financed, $84,000) = $25,315.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. The monthly PITI payment is $641.88.The monthly interest rate is $6 \frac { 3 } { 4 } \% / 12 = 0.005625$. The number of months in 20 years is 20 * 12 = 240. The monthly payment for the principal and interest is $55,000 * 0.005625 * (1 - (1 + 0.005625)^(-240)) / (0.005625) = $343.75. The monthly property taxes are $1,900 / 12 = $158.33. The monthly hazard insurance premium is $780 / 12 = $65.00. The monthly PITI payment is $343.75 + $158.33 + $65.00 = $641.88.

Accepted Answer

To find the loan balance after the first payment, you need to calculate the interest for the first month and subtract the total payment minus this interest from the original loan amount. Given a $55,000 mortgage at 9.5% for 30 years, the first step is to find the monthly payment using the given table or a mortgage calculator. Then, calculate the interest for the first month (9.5% annual interest rate divided by 12 months, applied to the $55,000 principal). Subtract the portion of the first payment that goes towards the principal from the original loan amount to find the new balance. Without the exact monthly payment and interest calculation provided, the correct answer is based on the information that would typically be derived from such a calculation or a table provided in the text.

Marjorie bought a home with an adjustable-rate mortgage. The margin on an adjustable-rate mortgage is 2.5% and the rate cap is 7% over the life of the loan. If the current index rate is 5.9%, what is the calculated interest rate of the ARM?

Accepted Answer

Find your amount due at the closing.

Accepted Answer

The down payment is 25% of $340,000, which is $85,000. You already paid $10,000, so you owe $75,000. The amount financed is $255,000, and 1% discount points are $2,550. Title insurance is 1% of $255,000, which is $2,550. Add other expenses: $80 (credit report), $140 (appraisal), $300 (title search), and $850 (attorney). Total due at closing: $75,000 + $2,550 + $2,550 + $80 + $140 + $300 + $850 = $81,470.

Question 20

Scott is purchasing a home for $220,000. The down payment is 30% and the balance will be financed with a 15-year mortgage at 8% and 4 discount points.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. The sellers will receive $150,550.00 on the sale of the property.The down payment is 30% of the purchase price, which is $220,000 x 0.30 = $66,000. The balance of the purchase price is $220,000 - $66,000 = $154,000. The mortgage amount is $154,000 x (1 + 0.08 x 15) x (1 - 0.04) = $150,550.00. The sellers will also receive the $10,000 deposit that Scott made when the sales contract was signed. Therefore, the total proceeds that the sellers will receive on the sale of the property is $150,550.00 + $10,000 = $160,550.00.
