The mortgage on your house is five years old.

It required monthly payments of $1433, had an


original term of 30 years, and had an interest rate of 12% (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 7.2% (APR).

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 $1433. How long will it
take you to pay off the mortgage after refinancing?

d. Suppose you are willing to continue making monthly payments of $1433, and want to pay off
the mortgage in 25 years. How much additional cash can you borrow today as part of the
refinancing?

a.
- Note:

● PV = original loan value


● r = interest rate = 12% → 12%/ 12 = 1% = 0.01/ month
● n = number of periods
● PMT = payment

The original loan value can be calculated by using the formula:

1−(1+ r)−n
PV = PMT ×
r

−360
1−(1+0.01)
→ PV = $1433 ×
0.01

→ PV = $139,313.8684

The formula for remaining balance is after 5 years is:

(1+r )n−1
Remaining balance = PV × (1+r)n − PMT ×
r
60
(1+ 0.01) −1
¿ $139,313.8684 × (1+0.01)60 – $1,433 ×
0.01

¿$136,058.4079

This is the amount of the new loan. The new interest rate r is 7.2% / 12 = 0.6% / month.

Using the annuity formula, the monthly payment is:

−n
1−(1+ r)
PV = PMT ×
r
−360
1−(1+ 0.006)
$136,058.4079 = PMT ×
0.006

PMT = $923.5483

The new payment is $923.5483

b.
Using n = 300
1−(1+ r)−n
PV = PMT ×
r

−300
1−(1+ 0.006)
$136,058.4079 = PMT ×
0.006

PMT = $979.0609

The payment is $979.0609

c.

Using PMT = $1,433

−n
1−(1+ r)
PV = PMT ×
r

−n
1−(1+ 0.006)
$136,058.4079 = $1,433 ×
0.006

→ n ~ 141 (months)
It will take 141 months
d.

The loan amount that can be borrowed is:

−n
1−(1+ r)
PV = PMT ×
r

−300
1−(1+ 0.006)
PV = $1,433 ×
0.006

→ PV = $199,141.5398

The additional amount that can be borrowed is: $199,141.5398 - $136,058.4079 = $63,083.1319
