Answer:
So we can offer for the house $180119.95
Explanation:
Monthly income =$4000
Monthly mortgage payment allowed (P)= 25% of 4000= $1000
Interest rate per month (i)= 0.5%
Number of months in total (n)= 30*12= 360
Maximum loan affordable = P*(1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i
=1000*(1-(1/(1+0.5%)^360))/0.5%
=$166791.61
Closing cost is 4% of loan value = 166791.61*4% =$6671.66
Balance Amount left for down payment = 20000-6671.66
=$13328.34
It means we can pay $6671.66 for closing cost of Loan and $13328.34 for down payment.
Cost of house paid maximum = Down payment + Affordable loan
=13328.34+166791.61
=$180119.95
So we can offer for the house $180119.95
