Dr. Bhattacharya and Dr. Malinowski are considering purchasing a house together after spending 2 years as professors at UB. They

have identified a 4 bedroom, single family home in the Elmwood Village that will cost $473,000 to purchase. This home is also an investment as they only plan to live in the house for 10 years. After that time the couple anticipates selling the house for $680,000 (net revenue after all other expenses). As their smart engineering friend who has taken Engineering Economy, they have asked for your help in selecting the best mortgage option for their needs.
Option A: A special 15 year fixed rate mortgage, with bi-weekly payments (i.e. every 2 weeks or 26 payments per year). The loan's interest rate is 3.94% compounded monthly. Because of the short term (i.e. length) of this loan the bank will only require a 25% down payment. The couple would owe an additional $3,200 in closing costs and fees, however the lender will allow them to include the closing costs and fees in the loan finance amount (i.e. the amount borrowed).

Option B: Conventional 30-year mortgage with an interest rate of 4.375% APR with monthly payments, and if they choose this option they would need to make only a 20% down payment and would owe an additional $5250 in closing costs and fees. They will make the down payment from their savings (i.e. pay it in cash), but the closing costs and fees, can once again be included in the loan finance amount.

a. [1 points] Determine the monthly payments that they will make for each loan in the first ten years of ownership for both the financing options.

b. [2 points) Drs. Bhattacharya and Malinowski would like to choose the option that will maximize their total profit (i.e. minimize the total amount of interest they will paid over the ten years they own the home) at the time of sale. Which of the two lending options should they choose?

Answer:

Explanation:

Home Value 473000

Down payment 118250

Debt 354750

Fees 3200

Total Mortgage value (Debt + Fee) 357950

Rate 3.94%

Period per anum 26

Excel formula Bi weekly payment

=PMT(3.94%/26,26 x 15,-357950,0,0) $ 1,216.27

Payment in first 10 years 1216.27 x 10 x 26 = 316,230.2

Home Value 473000

Down payment 94600

Debt 378400

Fees 5250

Total Mortgage value (Debt + Fee) 383650

Rate 4.38%

Period per annum 12

Excel formula Monthly payment

=PMT(4.375%/12,12 x 30,-383650,0,0) $ 1,915.51

Payment in first 10 years 1915.51 x 10 x 12 = $229,861.2

The attached files shows the detailed analysis.

From the attached files and the analysis, it is evident that the couple would like to choose first option with bi weekly payments to maximize their profit and interest paid as this is lesser and more preferable than the second option.

Peggy offers to sell Shelby a purebred Scottish terrier puppy for $800. Shelby and Peggy do not discuss the dog's ancestry, but
ladessa [460]

Answer:

a. No, because Shelby made a mistake about the dog's value, not a mistake about a material fact.

Explanation:

Peggy made an offer to sell the dog for $800, they didn't discuss the dog's ancestry and Shelby wrongly assumed the dog was from champion lines and agreed to buy the dog for $800.

Based on further investigations, she discovered the dog was worth just $200.

She cannot rescind the contract because she wrongly assumed the dog's value not an error about à material fact. Peggy sold the dog at her own rates and Shelby bought the dog while wrongly assuming the value, so she cannot cancel the contract based on that.

Ronald suffers from dementia that impacts his brain function, but he also has healthy periods of time when his mind is fully fun
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2. False

Explanation:

Capacity to a contract refers to whether the person to a contract is legally competent to enter into such a contract.

For instance, lunatics, drunkards, minors, criminals and person of unsound mind are deemed incapable of entering into a contract.

A person diagnosed with dementia, which impairs his decision making would normally be regarded as incapable to signing a contract.

But, capacity is ascertained as per the situation i.e at the time the contract is signed or entered into.

In the given case, Ronald entered a contract while he was sane and in healthy state of mind. His judgement at the time of entering such a contract wasn't impaired by dementia.

Thus, the contract will be legally enforceable as per the law.

lord [1]
<span>The success of the glucose-averse cockroaches in their new environment depends on the future use of glucose-baited poison in the apartment. If glucose-baited poison is not used, it is likely that the resident cockroaches will outcompete the new cockroaches, as the resident cockroaches will not exclude glucose-containing foods from their diet. However, the use of glucose-containing poison in the apartment will provide the new cockroaches a distinct selective advantage, as they will survive to reproduce, whereas the majority of the resident cockroaches will die.</span>
