Oprah Winfrey has closed on a 42-acre estate near Santa Barbara, California, for
$50,000,000. If Oprah puts 20% down and finances at 7% for 30 years, what would her
monthly payment be?
10 million down so Principal = 40,000,000
0.07/12 = 0.0058333 = i (monthly interest fraction)
30 * 12 = 360 = n (number of payments)
Amount =P * i (1+i)^n / [ (1+i)^n - 1 ]
= 49,000,000 * .0058333(1.0058333)^360 / [ 1.0058333^360 -1]
= $ 266,121 per month
Oh my !!
i = .07/12 = .0058333.... , (doubt she would pay that rate)
n = 30*12 = 360 , (doubt she would take that long)
Paym( 1 - 1.0058....^-360)/.0058333... = .8(50,000,000)
I get $266,120.10
To calculate Oprah Winfrey's monthly payment, we need to determine the loan amount, term, and interest rate.
Given:
- Purchase price of the estate: $50,000,000
- Down payment: 20% of $50,000,000
Step 1: Calculate the down payment amount
Down payment = 20% of $50,000,000
Down payment = 0.2 * $50,000,000
Down payment = $10,000,000
Step 2: Calculate the loan amount
Loan amount = Purchase price - Down payment
Loan amount = $50,000,000 - $10,000,000
Loan amount = $40,000,000
Step 3: Convert the annual interest rate to monthly interest rate
Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12
Monthly interest rate = 7% / 12
Monthly interest rate = 0.07 / 12
Monthly interest rate = 0.0058333
Step 4: Calculate the monthly payment using the loan amount, term, and interest rate
N = Loan term in months = 30 years * 12 months
N = 360 months
Monthly payment = (Loan amount * Monthly interest rate) / (1 - (1 + Monthly interest rate)^(-N))
Monthly payment = ($40,000,000 * 0.0058333) / (1 - (1 + 0.0058333)^(-360))
Calculating this equation would give us the exact monthly payment for Oprah Winfrey's loan.
To calculate Oprah's monthly payment, we need to use the formula for a fixed-rate mortgage loan:
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1]
Where:
M = Monthly payment
P = Loan amount
i = Monthly interest rate
n = Number of payments
First, let's calculate the loan amount based on the purchase price and the down payment:
Loan amount = Purchase price - Down payment
Purchase price = $50,000,000
Down payment = 20% of $50,000,000 = $10,000,000
Loan amount = $50,000,000 - $10,000,000 = $40,000,000
Next, let's calculate the monthly interest rate:
Annual interest rate = 7%
Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12
Monthly interest rate = 7% / 12 = 0.5833%
Now, let's calculate the number of payments:
Number of payments = Number of years * 12
Number of years = 30
Number of payments = 30 * 12 = 360
Finally, we can substitute these values into the formula to calculate the monthly payment:
M = $40,000,000 [ 0.5833%(1+ 0.5833%)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.5833%)^360 - 1]
Using a calculator, we can solve this equation to find Oprah's monthly payment.
