Explanation / Answer
Soln : Asper the given annexure we have calculated the net values as given below:
Mortgage payment are calculated in excel by using the PMT formula, we get the monthly payments as $989.26
Annual payments = 989.26*12 = 11871.10
Annual interest payment = 6%*(175000-10000) = 9900, reduction in loan balance = 11871.10 - 9900 = 1971.10
From the table we can see that cost of renting > cost of buying
Least costly is cost of buying.
