You need a 35-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $340,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at an APR of

6.35 percent for this 420-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,800, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,800?

Answer:

$338,712

Explanation:

we must first calculate the monthly payment using the present value of an annuity formula:

present value = monthly payment x annuity factor

present value = $340,000

PV annuity factor, 0.529167%, 420 periods = 168.38268

monthly payment = $340,000 / 168.38268 = $2,019.21

Since the monthly payment was actually higher than $1,800, the balloon payment will be almost $340,000

Alex

Answer:

Lenders loose and borrowers gain

Explanation:

Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)

In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.

Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal

denis23 [38]

Answer:

A buyer would be willing to pay at most $24,000.

Explanation:

There is a 40% chance of getting low quality cars.

Value of high quality car is $30,000.

Value of low quality car is $15,000.

Price of car that buyer will be willing to pay

=40% of lower quality+60% of higher quality

=40% of $15,000+60% of $30,000

=0.4*15,000+0.6*30,000

=$6,000+$18,000

=$24,000

So, the buyers will be willing to pay a maximum value of $24,000.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The company needs to borrow $25000 and option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

If the ending amount of cash for the year is less than the desired ending balance, then the company will need to borrow to maintain the desired level of cash balance.

To calculate the amount needed to be borrowed, we first compute the ending cash balance for December. The ending cash balance will be,

Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments

Closing Balance - December = 14000 + 127000 - 126000

Closing Balance - December = $15000

The difference between the closing cash balance and the desired closing cash balance is the amount that the firm will need to borrow.

Amount need to be borrowed = 40000 - 15000  =  $25000
