Explanation:
Amount of Loan needed = $140,000
- A point is an optional fee which helps you get a lower interest rate on your loan.
- Closing costs are the fees you pay when obtaining your loan.
<u>Choice 1</u>
30-year fixed rate at 4% with closing costs of $2100 and no points.
Monthly Payment
P=$140,000
Monthly Rate=4% ÷ 12=0.04 ÷ 12=0.0033
n=12 X 30 =360
Monthly Payment=$665.16
Total Closing Cost =(665.16 X 360)+2100=$241557.60
<u>Choice 2</u>
30-year fixed rate at 3.5% with closing costs of $2100 and 4 points.
Monthly Payment
P=$140,000
Monthly Rate=3.5% ÷ 12=0.035 ÷ 12=0.0029
n=12 X 30 =360
Monthly Payment=$627.10
Total Closing Cost =(627.10 X 360)+2100+(4% of 140000)=$233456
