Answer:

Option A,4 months

Explanation:

Closing fees =1.5% of the mortgage

mortgage amount is $150,000

closing fees =$150,000*1.5%=$2250

The mortgage monthly payment can be computed using the pmt formula in excel as follows:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the rate per month which is 3.5%/12=0.002916667

nper is 30 years multiplied by 12 =360

pv is the amount of mortgage which is $150,000

fv is the sum of the interest on mortgage and mortgage amount which is unknown

=pmt(0.002916667 ,360,-150000,0)= 673.57  

the final answer=closing fees/monthly payment=$2250 /$673.57  = 3.34  months

The closest option is 4 months
