Geo wants to buy a new home. The sales price is 185000. He has prequalified for a loan at 5.4% interest over 30 years with a 5% down payment and closing cost of 3% of the sales price. Geo wants to roll the closing costs into the loan. How much is the lone amount ?

Respuesta :

The sales price is $185,000.

The down payment is 5% of this, that is;

[tex]\frac{5}{100}\times185,000=\text{ \$9250}[/tex]

The closing cost is 3% of the sales price, that is;

[tex]\frac{3}{100}\times185,000=\text{ \$5550}[/tex]

The remaining cash left to pay is;

[tex]5550+175750=\text{ \$181,300}[/tex]

This, would be on interest for 30 years;

so, the total loan amount is;

[tex]181,300+\frac{181,300\times5.4\times30}{100}=181,300+293,700=\text{ \$475,000}[/tex]

Therefore, the loan amount is $475,000
