Jerry is purchasing a condominium for $325,500 and has financed 90% of it. He has purchased 3 discount points, has to pay a 1.65% origination fee and a brokerage fee of $100 plus 0.25% of the loan. What are his total fees that he must pay?
might want to define what a fee is
Is there any answer choices?
$15,461.25 $16,293.64 $14,454.56 $15,317.13
fee's would be extra money on top of the purchase price that he needs to pay
9,765 in discount points 913.75 in brokerage fees
My Guess would be C
careful, you need to consider only the amount that you're financing
5370.75 origination fee
Yeah i would say C
i think so.. financing amount = 90% of $325,500
$292,950
Well i have to go!
you're purchasing 3 discount points, so you need to pay 3% of $292,950 yes ?
Yes
Applying fees to $292,950 $4,833.675 origination $8,788.5 discount points $832.375 Brokerage fee
Which sum up to $14,454.56
or Option C
Does that look good to you?
Looks good!
