Explanation / Answer

Equity calculation

a.

Value of Fred home = $200,000

Down payment = 10%

Loan Amount = 90%

Value of equity = $200,000 × 10%

                          = $20,000

Hence, Value of equity of Fred in his home is $20,000.

b.

Purchase price of home = $150,000

Sell price of home = $250,000

So book value of equity of Freda in her home is $150,000 and market value is $250,000.

c.

Value of loan = $100,000

Down payment = 20%

Loan = 80%

Value of loan = $100,000 × 80%

                       = $80,000

Value of loan is $80,000.

Loan repaid = $20,000

Market price of home = $160,000

Equity value of Frank in his home = $160,000 + $20,000 - $80,000

                                                        = $100,000

Hence, Market value of equity in Frank house is $100,000.
