In this project we will examine a home loan or mortgage. Assume that you have found a home
for sale and have agreed to a purchase price of $201,000.
Down Payment: You are going to make a 10% down payment on the house. Determine the
amount of your down payment and the balance to finance.

Part I:_30 year Mortgage
Monthly Payment: Calculate the monthly payment for a 30 year loan (rounding up to the
nearest cent) by using the following formula. Show your work. [PMT is the monthly loan
payment, P is the mortgage amount, r is the annual percent rate for the loan in decimal, and Y is,
the number of years to pay off the loan.] For the 30 year loan use an annual interest rate of
4.975%. uq7s

Note that this monthly payment covers only the interest and the principal on the loan. It does not
cover any insurance or taxes on the property.
Amortization Schedule: In order to summarize all the information regarding the amortization of
a loan, construct a schedule that keeps track of the payment number, the principal paid, the
interest, and the unpaid balance, A spreadsheet program is an excellent tool to develop anamortization schedule. We can use a free amortization spreadsheet on the web.
The web address is: http://www. bretwhissel.net/amortization/amortize.html. Enter the amount
of the loan, i.e. the selling price minus the down payment, the interest rate, and the appropriate
number of years. Check the box to show the schedule.

As already mentioned, these payments are for principal and interest only. You will also have
monthly payments for home insurance and property taxes. In addition, itis helpful to have
money left over for those little luxuries like electricity, running water, and food. As a wise home
‘owner, you decide that your monthly principal and interest payment should not exceed 35% of
your monthly take-home pay. What minimum monthly take-home pay should you have in order
to meet this goal? Show your work for making this calculation.

(before taxes), Assuming that your net pay is 73% of your gross pay, what minimum gross
annual salary will you need to make to have the monthly net salary stated above? Show your
work for making this calculation.

Part II: Selling the House
Let's suppose that after living in the house for 10 years, you want to sell. The economy
experiences ups and downs, but in general the value of real estate increases over time. To
caleulate the value of an investment such as real estate, we use continuously compounded
interest.
Find the value of the home 10 years after purchase assuming a continuous interest rate of 4%.
Use the full purchase price as the principal. Show your work.

Part III:_15 year Mortgage
Using the same purchase price and down payment, we will investigate a 15 year mortgage.
Monthly Payment: Calculate the monthly payment for a 15 year loan (rounding up to the
nearest cent) by using the following formula. Show your work! [PMT is the monthly loan
payment, P is the mortgage amount, r is the annual percent rate for the loan in decimal, and Y is
the number of years to pay off the loan.] For the 15 year loan use an annual interest rate of
4.735%.

Suppose you paid an additional $100 towards the principal each month. How long would it take
to pay off the loan with this additional payment and how will this affect the total amount of
interest paid on the loan? [If you are making extra payments towards the principal, include it in
the monthly payment and leave the number of payments box blank.]
