Question

suppose you currently have a mortgage with 10 years remaining with annual payments (the next one coming in exactly one year) at a rate of 6%. The original mortgage amount was a 20-year mortgage for $1 million

a) what is your current annual payment?

b) What is your current mortgage balance outstanding?

c) Assume you are considering refinancing this mortgage with a new 10-year mortgage at the current rate of 4%. What is the present value of refinancing assuming you make all the remaining payments?

Explanation / Answer

Original Amount $1,000,000

Tenure remaining 10 years

rate =0.06

lets find the amount paid for the first 10 years

A= $1,000,000(1+0.06)10 = $179,0848

Amount-Principal = Interest hence   $179,0848-$1,000,000=$790847.7 has been paid as interest and principal amount of $1,000,000 is yet to be recovered.

a)current annual payment

A=$1,000,000(1+0.06)11 =$189,8299

therefore current annual payment =A of 11th year -A of 10 year=$189,8299 -$179,0848=$107,450.6

b)current mortgage balance outstanding

assuming we have paid till the 11th year therefore mortgage balance oustanding will be for remaining 9 years

A=$1,000,000(1+0.06)20=$3207135

Therefore deducting amount of 11th year from 20th year wil give remaining mortgage amount $3207135 -$189,8299 =$1308836

c) refinancing this mortgage with a new 10-year mortgage at the current rate of 4%.

Current principal after 10 years $179,0848 rate=0.04,t= 10 years

PV=$179,0848/(1.04)10=$120,9833
