Question

A borrower has had a 30 year, 8%, $600,000 mortgage for 6 years. Closing fees on this mortgage were 4% of the loan amount, and the prepayment penalty is 4% of OLB. The borrower is considering a refi into a 20 year mortgage at 7.25%. She will finance the payoff and all fees, and take out an additional $50,000 in cash. The closing fees on the new mortgage are 4% of the loan amount. Also assume the homeowner could borrow the extra $50,000 elsewhere at 7.5% for a fee of 2% in the form of a 10 year monthly installment loan with no prepayment penalty. The borrower will sell the house and pay off any remaining mortgage 7 years from now.

What is the NPV of refinancing, and should the borrower refinance? Assume the homeowner's opportunity cost is 7.5%.

Explanation / Answer

The payment for the old loan =pmt(rate,nper,pv) = pmt(0.08/12,30*12,600000) = $4,402.59

The amount of loan left off at the end of 6 years is as shown in the amortization table.

The loan remaining is $562,951.76

4% closing fees and 4% prepayment penalty = 45,036. This amount will be financed using the additional 50,000 borowed at 7.5%

The monthly payment for the new loan = pmt(0.0725/12,20*12,562,951.76 ) = $4,449.44

The monthly payment for the 50,000 loan for 10 years at 7.5% = pmt(0.075/12,10*12,50000) = 593.91

The remaining mortgage after 7 years is calculated in the amortization table and the same is :$448,680.59 ( We have not included the amortization table due to lakh of space)

The savings of the loan = pmt(0.08/12,360,600000) - pmt(0.0725/12,360,600000) = 309.53

Hence NPV =pv(0.075/12,7*12,309.53) -45,036 = -24,855.77

The lower rate is attractive, but the higher fee of exiting makes the refianance unattratcive
