Answer:
4.56%
Explanation:
The annual percentage rate refers to the rate at which the loan amount is equal to the present value of cash flows
In mathematically
Loan amount = Present value of cash flows
Loan amount = Monthly payment × PVAF (rate, number of years)
$31,000 = $493.25 × PVAF (rate, 72 months)
So,
PVAF (rate, 72 months) = 62.8485
And, the monthly rate is = 0.38%
So, the APR is
= Monthly rate × total number of months in a year
= 0.38% × 12
= 4.56%
The 72 months is
= 6 years × 12 months
= 72 months
Answer: $106,250
Explanation: Conventional loans often require 20% down to avoid PMI ($125,000), and Nico has paid a $50,000 deposit ($625,000 x .08). Closing costs are $31,250 ($625,000 x .05).
He needs $106,250 to close ([$125,000 - $50,000] + $31,250).
