Answer:

Beta is 1.8

Explanation:

CAPM or capital asset pricing model is used to compute expected return on stock by establishing relationship between expected returns and systematic risk (also called beta).

Given:

Return on mutual fund = 14%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 5%

Market return (Rm) = 10%

Risk premium = Rm - Rf

                      = 10% - 5%

                      = 5%

CAPM formula:

Returns = Rf + β(Rp)

14% = 5% + β(5%)

β = 9 / 5

β = 1.8

Beta of mutual fund is 1.8

1. Suppose that 10 years ago you bought a home for $150,000, paying 10% as a down payment, and financing the rest at 8% interest
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Down payment = $15,000

2. The existing mortgage (loan) was for $135,000

3. The current monthly payment on the existing mortgage is $990.58

4. The total interest over the life of the existing loan = $221,609.58

6. The amount of the original loan paid off is $22,319.

7. Total amount paid to the loan company over the last 10 years is $258,928.58 ($243,928.58 + $15,000)

8. Total interest paid over the last 10 years is $221,609.58

9. The equity in the home is $67,319 ($180,000 - $112,681)

10. The new monthly payments will be $675.58

11. Saving each month because of the lower monthly payment is $315 ($990.58 - $675.58)

12. Total Interest = $352,137.21 ($221,609.58 + $130,527.63)

13. It does not make sense to refinance because what is saved per month cannot compare with the additional interest expense to be incurred for prolonging the payments.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Cost of a home = $150,000

10% down payment = $15,000

Existing Mortgage = $135,000 ($150,000 - $15,000)

Home Price  150000

 Down Payment  10 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  8%

House Price $150,000.00

Loan Amount $135,000.00

Down Payment $15,000.00

Total of 360 (30 years * 12)

Mortgage Payments $356,609.58

Total Interest $221,609.58

Ten years after, the loan balance has been reduced by $22,319 ($135,000 - $112,682)

Refinancing calculations:

Home Price  112681

 Down Payment  0 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  6

   

Monthly Pay:   $675.58 Monthly

Total Mortgage Payment $243,208.63

Total Out-of-Pocket $243,208.63

Total of 360 Mortgage Payments $243,208.63

Total Interest $130,527.63
