An investor obtained a fully amortizing mortgage five years ago for $95,000 at 11 percent for 30 years. Mortgage rates have dropped, so that a fully amortizing 25-year loan can be obtained at 10 percent. There is no prepayment penalty on the mortgage balance of the original loan, but 3 points will be charged on the new loan and other closing costs will be $2,000. All payments are monthly. Assume that the investor borrows only an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the loan. Required: a. Should the borrower refinance if he plans to own the property for the remaining loan term? b. Should the borrower refinance if he planned to own the property for only five more years?

Which of the following statements regarding a 30-year (360-month) $100,000 fixed-rate mortgage is CORRECT? (Ignore all taxes and transactions costs.) Because it is a fixed rate mortgage, the amount paid in interest per payment is constant. With an amortized loan, a bigger proportion of each month's payment goes toward interest in the later periods. The remaining balance after three years will be $100,000 less the total amount of principal paid during the first 36 months. The monthly payment on the mortgage will steadily decline over time.

Which of the following statements regarding a 20-year (240-month) $225,000, fixed-rate mortgage is CORRECT? (Ignore taxes and transactions costs.) The outstanding balance declines at a slower rate in the later years of the loan's life. The remaining balance after three years will be $225,000 less one third of the interest paid during the first three years. Because it is a fixed-rate mortgage, the monthly loan payments (which include both interest and principal payments) are constant. Interest payments on the mortgage will increase steadily over time, but the total amount of each payment will remain constant. The proportion of the monthly payment that goes towards repayment of principal will be lower 10 years from now than it will be the first year.
