When you bought your house for $300,000 5 years ago you took out a $250,000 mortgage with a 30 year ARM at 5%. Today is the five year anniversary and the rate adjusts to 10%. What is your new mortgage payment?
First, let's find the monthly payment with r = 5%/12 = 0.004166666667
n = 30 * 12 = 360
Now, lets find the loan outstanding after 5 years
n = (30 - 5) * 12 = 300
r = 0.004166666667
This is the loan outstanding after 5 years.
Finally, we will find the monthly payment with r = 10%/12 = 0.008333333333
n = 300
New mortgage payment = $2,086.1209324831
