cant find a way tosolve this
Five years ago, Ms. Halliday received a mortgage loan from the Scotiabank for $60,000 at 7.8% compounded semiannually for a five-year term. Monthly payments were based on a 25-year amortization. The bank is agreeable to renewing the loan for another five-year term at 6.8% compounded semiannually. Calculate the principal reduction that will occur in the second five-year term if
a. The payments are recalculated based on the new interest rate and a continuation of the original 25-year amortization.
b. Ms. Halliday continues to make the same payments as she made for the first five years (resulting in a reduction of the amortization period).
To solve this problem, you will need to make use of the formula for calculating the principal reduction in an amortizing loan. The formula is:
Principal Reduction = Monthly Payment - Interest Payment
To calculate the monthly payment, you can use the formula for calculating the monthly payment on a mortgage loan:
Monthly Payment = (P * i) / (1 - (1 + i)^(-n))
where:
P = principal amount
i = monthly interest rate
n = number of months
Now let's break down each part of the problem:
a. The payments are recalculated based on the new interest rate and a continuation of the original 25-year amortization.
To calculate the principal reduction in this scenario, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the new monthly interest rate based on the new interest rate (6.8%) and the semiannual compounding:
Monthly Interest Rate = (1 + (6.8% / 2))^2 - 1
2. Calculate the new number of months based on the original 25-year amortization:
Number of Months = 25 years * 12 months/year
3. Calculate the new monthly payment using the formula mentioned earlier, with the new interest rate and the new number of months.
4. Calculate the interest payment for each month using the formula:
Interest Payment = P * Monthly Interest Rate
5. Finally, calculate the principal reduction using the principal payment formula from the beginning.
b. Ms. Halliday continues to make the same payments as she made for the first five years (resulting in a reduction of the amortization period).
To calculate the principal reduction in this scenario, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the new monthly interest rate based on the new interest rate (6.8%) and the semiannual compounding.
2. Calculate the remaining number of months for the amortization period (subtract 5 years from the original 25-year amortization).
3. Calculate the new principal amount by subtracting the principal reduction that occurred in the first five-year term from the original principal amount.
4. Calculate the new monthly payment using the formula for the remaining number of months and the new principal amount.
5. Calculate the interest payment for each month using the formula mentioned earlier.
6. Finally, calculate the principal reduction using the principal payment formula from the beginning.
By following these steps, you should be able to calculate the principal reduction that will occur in the second five-year term for both scenarios.
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the principal reduction that will occur in the second five-year term for both scenarios:
a. Recalculating payments based on the new interest rate and a continuation of the original 25-year amortization.
To calculate the principal reduction, we need to find the remaining balance on the mortgage at the end of the first five-year term using the formula for compound interest:
\( A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{nt} \)
Where:
A = final amount (remaining balance)
P = principal amount
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of compounding periods per year
t = number of years
In this case, P = $60,000, r = 7.8% = 0.078 (original interest rate), n = 2 (compounded semiannually), and t = 5 (years).
\( A = \$60,000 \left(1 + \frac{0.078}{2} \right)^{(2)(5)} \)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
\( A \approx \$84,685.61 \)
This means that the remaining balance at the end of the first five-year term is approximately $84,685.61.
Now, to calculate the new monthly payment for the second term, we can use the formula for the monthly payment on a mortgage:
\( M = \frac{P \cdot \frac{r}{n} \cdot (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{(n \cdot t)}}{(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{(n \cdot t)} - 1} \)
Where:
M = monthly payment
P = principal amount
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of compounding periods per year
t = number of years
In this case, P = $84,685.61 (remaining balance), r = 6.8% = 0.068 (new interest rate), n = 2 (compounded semiannually), and t = 25 (remaining amortization period).
Plugging the values into the equation, we get:
\( M = \frac{\$84,685.61 \cdot \frac{0.068}{2} \cdot (1 + \frac{0.068}{2})^{(2)(25)}}{(1 + \frac{0.068}{2})^{(2)(25)} - 1} \)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
\( M \approx \$552.98 \)
Therefore, the new monthly payment for the second five-year term based on the recalculated interest rate and continuation of the original 25-year amortization is approximately $552.98.
To calculate the principal reduction, we subtract the interest portion of the payment from the total payment:
\( Principal\ reduction = Monthly\ payment - Interest\ portion\ of\ payment \)
The interest portion can be calculated using the following formula:
\( I = A \cdot \frac{r}{n} \)
Where:
I = interest portion
A = remaining balance
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of compounding periods per year
Plugging in the values, we get:
\( I = \$84,685.61 \cdot \frac{0.068}{2} \)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
\( I \approx \$2,879.09 \)
Therefore, the principal reduction that will occur in the second five-year term is approximately:
\( Principal\ reduction = \$552.98 - \$2,879.09 \approx -\$2,326.11 \)
Note that the negative sign indicates that the remaining balance will increase rather than decrease in this scenario.
b. Continuation of the same payments as made for the first five years (resulting in a reduction of the amortization period).
In this scenario, we assume that Ms. Halliday continues to make the same monthly payments as she made for the first five years. This will result in a reduced amortization period.
Using an online mortgage calculator or an amortization schedule, we can determine the remaining balance on the mortgage at the end of the first five-year term. Let's assume that the remaining balance is $50,000.
Now, we need to calculate the interest portion of the payment for the second five-year term using the formula mentioned above:
\( I = A \cdot \frac{r}{n} \)
Where:
I = interest portion
A = remaining balance
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of compounding periods per year
Plugging in the values, we get:
\( I = \$50,000 \cdot \frac{0.068}{2} \)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
\( I \approx \$1,700.00 \)
Therefore, the principal reduction that will occur in the second five-year term is approximately:
\( Principal\ reduction = \$552.98 - \$1,700.00 \approx -\$1,147.02 \)
Again, the negative sign indicates that the remaining balance will increase rather than decrease in this scenario.
