In this lab, you will:
Required:
1. Calculate the monthly payment for a 15-year and a 6-year mortgage loan.
2. Calculate the amount of interest that you’d pay for a 15-year mortgage loan and a 6-year mortgage loan.
Ask the Question: How much interest do you pay over the life of a 15-year and a 6-year mortgage?
Master the Data: There is no data file for this
lab. We will make the needed calculations and input the data as we
go.
To compute the mortgage payments, we’ll need to know a few things:
Let’s suppose you would like to buy a home for $250,000. But
like most U.S. citizens, you don’t have enough cash on hand to pay
for the full house. But we’re in luck! Signature Bank has agreed to
offer you a 30-year mortgage loan, but requires that you pay 20
percent down ($50,000 = 20% of $250,000) to qualify for their
mortgage loan of $200,000 in this way:
$250,000 | Cost of home |
50,000 | Required 20% down payment ($50,000 = 20% of $250,000) (The |
cash you need to have available to pay when closing on the home) | |
$200,000 | Amount of the bank loan |
Software needed
Perform the Analysis: Refer to Lab 1-3 Alternative in the text for instructions and Lab 1-3 steps for each of the lab parts.
