7. In order to purchase a house, you have taken out a 30
year mortgage of $200,000 at 4.29% interest per year. You make
payments at the end of every month. What is the amount of each
monthly payment?Refer to question 7. Using Excel, prepare an
amortization table for the mortgage. Obtain the results for the
first fifteen periods and include the results with your completed
assignment. On the same page, show the overall sums for the
relevant columns over the full period of the
mortgage.
| Solution: | ||||
| 7. | Monthly payments on this mortgage = $988.57 | |||
| Working Notes: | ||||
| The total number of payments | ||||
| In this case, make one payment per month for 30 years. This means you will make 360 payments over the course of the mortgage 12 x 30 = 360 | ||||
| Calculation a monthly payment | ||||
| The 4.29% is an annual interest rate. Since all the following calculations are based on a monthly payment schedule, the annual rate needs to be converted to a monthly rate. The monthly interest rate would be =4.29%/12 =0.3575% [7% / 12 = 0.583%]. | ||||
| Determining the monthly payment to account for interest requires a complicated formula shown below: using formula of present value of annuity as present value of annuity is equals to total mortgage value. | ||||
| present value of annuity = Px[ 1-1 /(1 + i)^n)]/ i | ||||
| P=monthly payment | ||||
| i= interest rate per period = 4.29%/12 | ||||
| n= no. Of period = 12 x 30 =360 | ||||
| PV of annuity= Mortgage loan $200,000 | ||||
| present value of annuity = Px[ 1-1 /(1 + i)^n)]/ i | ||||
| 200,000 = P x (1-1/(1+(4.29%/12))^360)/(4.29%/12) | ||||
| 200,000 = P x 202.3126657778 | ||||
| P= $200,000/202.3126657778 | ||||
| P= 988.5688532 | ||||
| P= $988.57 | ||||
| Monthly payment = $988.57 |
| Now 2nd Part | ||||
| For 1st payment, we already know the total amount is $988.57 monthly payments. To determine how much of that goes toward interest, we multiply the remaining balance $200,000 mortgage value by the monthly interest rate: 200,000 x 0.3575% = $715 . The rest goes toward the mortgage balance ($988.57 - $715 = $273.57). So after the first payment, the remaining amount on the mortgage is $ ($200,000 - $273.57 = $199,726.43). | ||||
| Here | Total interest paid during life mortgage is 155,884.79 | |||
| Total principle paid during life mortgage is 200,000 the mortgage amount . | ||||
| Total amount paid is 355,884.79 |
| Computation table is given below of excel | ||||
| Notes: | Here monthly payments are taken 5 decimals means 988.56885 in our computation in excel as for convenient it is shown in two decimal. | |||
