Explanation / Answer

1

a)

Equity=Value-Loan=225000-175000=50000

b)

LTV=85%

So, Maximum Loan=85%*Value=85%*225000=191250

2

a)

LTV=75%

So, Loan=75%*Value=75%*325000=243750

He has already borrowed 228000. So, additionall borrowing permitted=243750-228000=15750

b)

LTV=90%

So, Loan=90%*Value=90%*325000=292500

He has already borrowed 228000. So, additionall borrowing permitted=292500-228000=64500
