The adam smith family just purchased a 350,000 house with an 110,000 down payment and a 30 year mortgage loan at 6.50% annually, with a monthly compounding. payments are made monthly. What is the remaining balance on the mortage after 15 years?
Step 1) Calculate the loan amount
Loan amount = Cost of house - Down payment
Loan amount = 350000 - 110000
Loan amount = 240000
Step 2) Calculate the monthly payment
We are given the following information
Payment | PMT | To be calculated |
Rate of interest | r | 6.50% |
Number of years | n | 30.00 |
Monthly Compounding | frequency | 12.00 |
Loan amount | PV | 240000.00 |
We need to solve the following equation to arrive at the
required PV
So the monthly payment is $1516.96 rounded to 2 decimal places
Step 3) Develop the amortization schedule:
Opening balance = previous year's closing balance
Closing balance = Opening balance-Principal repayment
PMT is calculated as per the above formula
Interest = 0.065 /12 x opening balance
Principal repayment = PMT - Interest
So at the end of 15 years, total 15 x 12 = 180 payments
have been made and after the 180th payment outstanding or the
closing balance will be $174,141.94
