Explanation / Answer

1.You invest $300 a month at the end of each month for 14 months at an annual rate of 3% compounded monthly.   How much money would you have at the end of the 14 months?

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = fv(rate,nper,pmt,pv)

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = fv(3%/12,14,300,0)

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = $ 4268.94 or $ 4269

A.$4269

2.How would the answer to 1 change if you invested the $300 at the beginning of the month instead of the end.

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = fv(rate,nper,pmt,pv,1)

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = fv(3%/12,14,300,0,1)

Money would you have at the end of the 14 months = $ 4279.61 or $ 4280

C.$4280

3.You have $700 in your saving account and would like to add to it $100 a month for the next 5-years. If you can earn 4%, what would be the balance of your savings account at the end of the 5 years?

The balance of your savings account at the end of the 5 years = fv(rate,nper,pmt,pv)

The balance of your savings account at the end of the 5 years = fv(4%/12,5*12,100,700)

The balance of your savings account at the end of the 5 years = 7484.60 or $ 7485

B.$7485

4.You purchased a home for $250,000 and borrowed 80% of the value for 30 years at 4.5%.

Calculate your monthly payment

Your monthly payment = pmt(rate,nper,pv,fv)

Your monthly payment = pmt(4.50%/12,30*12,-250000*80%,0)

Your monthly payment = 1013.37 or $ 1013

A.$1013

5.Your gross annual salary is $46,000. Your mortgage monthly payment cannot exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. You are applying for a conventional 30-year mortgage at a 4.8%. Calculate your maximum monthly payment

Maximum monthly payment = 46000*1/12*28%

Maximum monthly payment = 1073

A.$1073

6.You are eligible for $1026 monthly payment on a 30 year 4.5% fixed rate mortgage. You are interested in a condo whose property taxes are $300 a month and homeowners insurance are $60 a month.

a.How much money can you borrow and what is your monthly payment ?

Monthly Payment = 1026-300-60 = 666

Money you can borrow = pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Money you can borrow = pv(4.50%/12,30*12,666,0)

Money you can borrow = 131,442

C.$131,442, $666

b.What is the interest and principle portions of your first payment

Interest portions of your first payment = 131442*4.50%/12 = 493

Principle portions of your first payment = 666-493 = 173

C.$493, $173

c.What is the principle balance of your mortgage after 15 years (180 payments)?

Principle balance of your mortgage after 15 years = pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Principle balance of your mortgage after 15 years = pv(4.50%/12,180,666,0)

Principle balance of your mortgage after 15 years = 87,059

A.$87,059

d.How much interest have you paid over the past 15 years (180 payments)?

Total Amount Paid = 666*180 = 119880

Total Principal reduced = 131442 - 87059 = 44383

Total Interest paid = 119880 - 44383 = 75497

D.$75,497

e.If you increased your monthly payments by $50, how long would it take you to payoff your mortgage?

No of month to pay the loan = nper(rate,pmt,pv,fv)

No of month to pay the loan = nper(4.50%/12,716,-131442,0)

No of month to pay the loan = 312 Month

No of Year = 312/12 = 26 Years

A.About 26 years
