This is for a college math class..I'm trying everything I can here!! Can anyone help out with ANYTHING on this loan problem? I have a test tomorrow, and our professor didnt go over this problem with us:
The Smith's want to buy a $144,000 house. Their income is $50,000 a year. They have $30,000 in savings. The current rate of interest is 7.2% APR. They would like to take out a 20 yr. loan. Taxes on this house is $2400 a yr. and the house insurance is $300 per yr.
Questions:
1. Can they afford the home?
2. How much can the Smith's afford to pay/month on the house, taxes, and insurance?
3. Estimate the total pay for the house.
4. Can the Smith's make a down payment?
5. What is the house payment not including taxes and insurance?
6. How much will the Smith's pay for this house at the end of their mortgage?
7. How much interest will they pay at the end of theis mortgage?
8. What will their monthly expenses be on this house?
If anyone has any input, please help!
