@karatechopper @mathmate @misssunshinexxoxo

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first two look good so far

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

question 3 is incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i solve that one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is 1.5% of that mortgage?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah 0.015 with the mortgage amount

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1.5% =0.015

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of what?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the $197,000 mortgage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 295000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2955

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add that onto 2000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since it says "A mortgage broker charges $2000 plus 1.5% of the mortgage amount"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4955

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything else that was wrong @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there are some here you didn't answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which ones

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

like "A mortgage is in the amount of $600,000. The origination fee is 0.5%, the intangible tax is 0.2%, and there are 1.5 discount points"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and "Sherri attempts to determine the total cost of a $500,000 ARM which starts at 6% by predicting the monthly payments. Her predictions are shown in the table"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it or is there more

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there are more basically where you didn't highlight the answer in yellow

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'll be right back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that is my answer the ones i highlighted @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still checking it @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes no maybe? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes I'm still checking

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the one with "What is the amount of the balloon payment rounded to the nearest dollar?" is incorrect where you picked $192,063

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how can i fix that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

go here http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/mortgage-calculator.aspx

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

type in the given mortgage amount (200,000) interest rate (7%) time (15 years) then scroll to June 2019

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look in the last column

OpenStudy (anonymous):

165,163.53?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which rounds to 165,164

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything else that is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"Julie is buying a house for $225,000. She obtains a mortgage in the amount of $156,000 at a 4.5% fixed rate. The bank offers a 4.25% interest rate if Julie pays 2.25 points. What is the cost of points for this mortgage rounded to the nearest dollar?" that one is wrong as well

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

take 1% of the mortgage, then multiply by 2.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1% of 156,000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3510

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the hank and caesar one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm looking at the ones you answered. I'm onto the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i answered both hank and caesar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you didn't mark the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

some of the questions weren't marked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me the ones i didn't mark @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the question "What is the break-even point for the loans?" has the correct answer that you marked (10 years)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the other stuff is unmarked, so I'll let you do that part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which questions tell me the beginning of the question

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's in the doc file. There are a lot that weren't marked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean without the highlighter?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there are no yellow highlights

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me highlight them then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i fixed it @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok let me check

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this one is incorrect `A mortgage is in the amount of $600,000. The origination fee is 0.5%, the intangible tax is 0.2%, and there are 1.5 discount points. ` `Which of the following is the total cost of the origination fee, the intangible tax, and the discount points?`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how can i fix it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

take 0.5% of the mortgage to get x take 0.2% of the mortgage to get y take 1% of the mortgage, multiply it by 1.5 to get z add x+y+z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 10200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 13200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Sherri attempts to determine the total cost of a $500,000 ARM which starts at 6% by predicting the monthly payments. Her predictions are shown in the table. ` is incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm not sure how you got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i fix it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

$2997.75 per month for 5 years $2858.27 per month for 15 years $3093.85 per month for 10 years add up all that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply each one right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah and keep in mind 12 months = 1 year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so multiply the years by 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then add the price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes to convert to months

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then for example i multiply 60 * 2997.75 or add the two

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah do that for the three lines, then add the results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i multiply them

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then add, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it. anything else that is wrong?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what answer did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1065615.6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Jackie obtains a 30-year 4/2 ARM at 5% with a 4/7 cap structure in the amount of $313,500. What is the monthly payment during the initial period?` is wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Use the formula \[\Large M = \frac{L*i}{1-(1+i)^{-n}}\] L = 313,500 i = 0.05/12 = 0.00416666666667 n = 30*12 = 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-n?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah the exponent is -n
