Explanation / Answer

A How much is the monthly mortgage payment?

Ans. Monthly mortgage payment = monthly salary x 32% => 56000 x 32%/12 = $1,493.33

B How much of a mortgage loan will the bank lend you?

Ans. Using the present value of annuity formula,

PVA = A x (1-(1+r)^-n)/r

PVA = 1493.33 x (1-(1+4.25%/12)^-360)/(4.25%/12)

PVA = 1493.33 x 203.2769 => $303,559.44

So the bank will lend you $303,559.44

C What is the total cost of the house you can buy?

Ans. Since bank loan is 80% and down payment is 20%, total cost will be

$303,559.44/80% = $379,449.31

D How much is the required down payment?

Ans. Down payment = $379,449.31 x 20% = $75,889.86
