Question

Ann would like to buy a house.

It costs $800,000.

Her down payment will be $40,000.

She will take out a mortgage for $760,000.

It will be a 30 year, fully amortizing, FRM, with constant monthly payments and monthly compounding.

The annual interest rate is 4.00%.

She must pay 2.5% in fees at the time of the loan.

Note: the home is bought and the loan is taken in month 0, the first payment is due in month 1.

In the spreadsheet where it says “cash inflow”, “outflow” and “net cash flow” you should only take into account cash flow related to the mortgage.

1. Fill in the spreadsheet for Ann. (It is called an amortization schedule.)

2. Compute Ann’s annualized IRR for the mortgage in the spreadsheet. (Use the net cash flow.)

(2.a) What is the annualized IRR for the mortgage?

(2.b) Is it higher or lower than the mortgage contract rate?

(2.c) Why?

3. Plot Ann’s mortgage balance in one graph. Place the figure here.

4. Plot Ann’s monthly mortgage payment, interest payment and principal payment in one graph. Place the figure here.

She forecasts four possible scenarios for house price appreciation (HPA).

Optimistic Case: 4.5% annual HPA, hence 4.5/12% monthly HPA

Base Case: 2.5% annual HPA, hence 2.5/12% monthly HPA

Pessimistic Case: 0% annual HPA, hence 0/12% monthly HPA

Very Bad Case: -6% annual HPA, hence -6/12% monthly HPA

5. Plot Ann’s home equity every month under each of the four HPA scenarios in one graph. Place the figure here.

6. Assume Ann will make the required monthly payment every month for 30 years.

(6.a) How much home equity will Ann have after 10 years (120 months) of payments under each of the four scenarios?

(6.b) After 30 years?

Explanation / Answer

2)

Cost of house = 800,000

Down payment = 40,000

Loan required = 800,000 - 40,000 = 760,000

2.5% fee is required at the time of the loan

Actual amount of mortgage = 760,000/(1 - 0.025) = 779,487.18

PV = 779,487.18, N = 360, r = 0.04/12 = 0.01/3, FV = 0

PV = 779,487.18 = (PMT/(0.01/3)) * (1 - 1/(1 + 0.01/3)^360) + 0

PMT = 3,721.39

Ann has to pay $3,721.39 every month but she received loan $760,000 for her house

CF0 = -760,000

CF1-360 = 3,721.39

PV = 760,000, PMT = 3,721.39, N = 360, FV = 0;

Compute r = 0.003509 per month or 0.042110 per year

Annual effective rate = 4.21%

Annualized IRR = 4.21%

Mortgage rate is 4% but because of initial fee of 2.5% which puts additional cost on borrower, the effective rate rises to 4.21%

6)

Cost of the house: 800,000

Mortgage:760,000

Fees for the loan: 19,000

Cost the house-Fees for the Loan=800,000-19,000=781,000

First we will use the excel PMT schedule to find the monthly payments. The syntax for PMT equals:

=PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv,[type])

              rate=   monthly rate of interest=4/12=0.33%

              nper= number of periods=30 years=360 months

              PV= Present value of loan =760,000

             FV= The value of loan in the future=0

Type=0 or 1. 0 means payments made at the end of the period while 1 means payment made at the beginning of the period. The default setting in excel is 0.

= pmt (0.33,360,-760,000,0,0)

=$ 3628.36

Therefore, the loan will require a monthly payment of $ 3819.32

Loan balance after any point in time can be found as PV of the remaining installments. The formula to do so is:

PV=PMT×(1-(1/(1+i)n)/i

Where PMT =monthly payments=$ 3628.36

              i= monthly rate of interest =4/12=0.33

              n=Number of loan payments remaining. So after 120 months this will be (360-120)=240 months. After 360 months this will be 0.

First Case (After 120 Months) loan balance due=3628.36×(1-(1/1.003333)240)/0.003333

                =$ 598,758.09

Second Case (After 30 years or 360 months) loan balance due=3819.32×(1-(1/1.003333)0)/0.003333

                                                                 =$ 0

Now let’s estimate the price of houses in all scenarios:

1a) After 120 months:

Optimistic Case: Value of House: 800,000×(1+0.00375)120=$ 1,253,594.22

                              Value of Equity: 1,253,594.22-598,758.09-19,000=$ 635,836.13

           

Base Case:            Value of House: 800,000×(1+ 0.002083333)120=$ 1,026,953.23

                              Value of Equity: 1,026,953.23-598,758.09-19,000=$ 409,195.14

Pessimistic Case:            Value of House: 800,000×(1+0)120=$ 800,000

                                           Value of Equity: 800,000-598,758.09-19,000=$ $182,241.91

Very Bad Case:                Value of House: 800,000 ×(1 -0.005)120=$ 438,389.03

                                           Value of Equity: 438,389.03-598,758.09-19,000= -$ 179,369.06

1b) After 30 years or 360 months the loan balance due will be 0. And thus the value of your equity will just be the house value less the loan fees paid.

Optimistic Case: Value of House: 800,000×(1+0.00375)360 = $ 3,078,158.44

                              Value of Equity: 3,078,158.44-19,000= $3,059,158.44

           

Base Case:            Value of House: 800,000 ×(1+ 0.002083333)360=$ 1,692,279.24

                              Value of Equity: 1,692,279.24- 19,000=$ $1,673,279.24

Pessimistic Case:            Value of House: 800,000×(1+0)360=$ 800,000

                                           Value of Equity: 800,000-19,000=$ $781,000

Very Bad Case:                Value of House: 800,000 ×(1 -0.005)360=$ 131,643.39

                                           Value of Equity: 131,643.39 -19,000= $112,643.39
