Your monthly payments for all existing debts $400
Property tax rate in your area 1 percent
Hazard/home insurance rate in your area 0.5 percent
Borrower has an acceptable credit risk, with a respectable credit history
2. Assume that the bank offers the following mortgage terms and rates:
Term of loan 15 or 30 years
Down payment required 10 percent to 20 percent
Closing costs of Discount points of 1 percent

Interest rate for a 15-year fixed mortgage 6.5 percent
Interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage 7.0 percent
Interest rate for 15-year adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) 5.0 percent, adjusted every 12 months
Payment-to-income (PTI) ratio range at your bank 28 percent to 33 percent
Then, using Internet mortgage calculators answer the following questions (Microsoft Word and Excel if possible):
1. How much do you qualify to borrow (assume 28% PTI) for a
a. 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (10% down)?
b. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (10% down)?
c. 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (20% down)?
d. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (20% down)?
2. How much do you qualify to borrow (assume 33% PTI) for a
a. 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (10% down)?
b. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (10% down)?
c. 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (20% down)?
d. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (20% down)?
3. Assuming closing costs are paid from savings, do the necessary calculations to answer the following questions:
a. What is the monthly payment on a 30-year, fixed-rate loan of $100,000?
b. What is the monthly payment on a 15-year, fixed-rate loan of $100,000?
c. What is the monthly payment on an adjustable-rate loan of $100,000 for the first year?
d. How much is the total interest paid on the 30-year loan in year 5?
e. How much is the total interest paid on the 15-year loan in year 5?
4. Given the following information on the adjustable-rate loan,
o maximum rate is 12%
o months before first adjustment is 36
o months between adjustments is 12
o rate change per adjustment is 2 percent
o years before sell/pay off loan is 7
o your savings rate is 4%
o your State 1 Federal Tax Rate is 40%
h. What is the cost difference between the adjustable-rate loan and the 30-year fixed rate loan if interest rates decrease?
i. What is the cost difference between the adjustable rate loan and the 30-year fixed-rate loan if interest rates increase?
j. Which loan would you prefer? Why?
3. In the same Microsoft Word document, answer the following questions:
? What is the effective annual interest rate of the 15-year mortgage in question 1, if the discount rate is zero?
? What is the effective annual interest rate of the 15-year mortgage in question 1, if the discount rate is 2 percent?
? Your bank suffers from the typical maturity mismatch in bank assets and liabilities.
o Could your bank make more adjustable-rate loans to reduce the mismatch problem?
o What is the likely consequence of the above on the profit margin of adjustable-rate loans versus fixed-rate loans?
