Mortgages
Given that Sophie is planning to buy a house, and she needs to take out a mortgage for 120,000, and she is considering two possible options:
- Option 1: Repay the mortgage over 20 years, at an annual interest rate of 5%, compounded annually.
- Option 2: Pay $1000 every month, at an annual interest rate of 6%, compounded annually, until the loan is fully repaid.
To A) calculate the monthly repayment using option 1, B) calculate the total amount Sophie would pay, using option 1, and C) calculate the number of months it will take to repay the mortgage using option 2, the following calculations must be performed :
A and B)
- 120000 x 1.05^20 = X
- 318,395.72 = X
- 318,395.72 / (20 x 12) = X
- 1326.65 = X
C)
- 120000 x 1.06^20 = 384,856.25
- 20 x 12 x 1000 = 240,000
- 120000 x 1.06^30 = 689,218.94
- 30 x 12 x 1000 = 360,000
- 120000 x 1.06^10 = 214,901.72
- 10 x 12 x 1000 = 120,000
- Therefore, she will never be able to cover the amount of the loan by paying $1000 per month.
