In this project we will examine a home loan or mortgage. Assume that you have found a home
for sale and have agreed to a purchase price of$201'000.
Down Payment: You are going to make a l0o/o down payment on the house. Determine the
amount of your down payment and the balance to furance.

Monthly Payment for a 30 yem mortgage
Note that this monthly payment covers only the interest and the principal on the loan. It does not
cover any insurance or taxes on the property.
Amortization Schedule: In order to summarize all the information regarding the amortization of
a loan, construct a schedule that keeps track of the payment number, the principal paid, the
interest, and the unpaid balance. A spreadsheet program is an excellent tool to develop an
amortization schedule. We can use a free amortization spreadsheet on the web.
The web address is: http://www.bretwhissel.net/amortization/amortize.html. Enterthe amount
of the loan, i.e. the selling price minus the down payment, the interest rate, and the appropriate
number of years. Check the box to show the schedule.

(Note: if this is more than 2 or 3 cents different from your calculation, check your numbers!)
Notice that the amount of the payment that goes towards the principal and the amountthat goes
towards the interest are not constant. What do you observe about each of these values?

As already mentioned, these payments are for principal and interest only. You will also have
monthly payments for home insurance and property taxes. In addition, it is helpful to have
money left over for those little luxuries like electricity, running water, and food. As a wise home
owner, you decide that your monthly principal and interest payment should not exceed 35o/o of
your monthly take-home pay. What minimum monthly take-home pay should you have in order
to meet this goal? Show your work for making this calculation.

Part II: Selling the House
Let's suppose that after living in the house for l0 years, you want to sell. The economy
experiences ups and downs, but in general the value of real estate increases over time. To
calculate the value of an investment such as real estate, we use continuously compounded
interest.
Find the value of the home 10 years after purchase assuming a continuous interest rate af 4o/o.
Use the full purchase price as the principal. Show your work.

Suppose you paid an additional $100 towards the principal each month. How long would it take
to pay offthe loan with this additional payment and how will this affect the total amount of
interest paid on the loan?

you are making exka payments towards the principal, include it in
the monthly payment and leave the number of payments box blank.]
