1. A few years ago, Simon Powell purchased a home for $150,000. Today, the home is worth $250,000. His remaining mortgage balance is $100,000. Assuming that Simon can borrow up to 75 percent of the market value, what is the maximum amount he can borrow? (LO 5.2)
Present market value of Simon’s home = $250,000. Simon can borrow up to 75 percent of the market value, or $187,500. Simon still owes $100,000 mortgage on his home. Therefore, he can borrow an additional $87,500.

What was the total amount she paid? What if she had made the purchase with her credit card and paid off her bill in full promptly? (LO 5.4) Sidney’s cash advance fee was $4.00.
1* At an 18% APR, she paid $3.00 interest for one month.
2* She paid a total of $207.
3* If Sydney had made the purchase with her credit card and paid off the bill in full promptly, she would have paid only $200
The answer is true if the card has a grace period, but if there is no grace period (and some cards don’t offer one), she would have paid the $3 interest charge regardless and would have saved only on the cash advance of $4.
9. Brooke lacks cash to pay for a $500 washing machine. She could buy it from the store on credit by making 12 monthly payments of $44.85 each. The total cost would then be $538.20. Instead, Brooke decides to deposit $42 a month in the bank until she has saved enough money to pay cash for the washing machine. One year later, she has saved $516—$504 in deposits plus interest. When she goes back to the store, she finds that the washing machine now costs $550. Its price has gone up 10 percent—the current rate of inflation. Was postponing her purchase a good trade-off for Brooke? (LO 5.4)
No, it was not a good trade-off for Brooke to postpone her purchase. By waiting one year, she had to pay more to buy the washing machine. Now she had saved $516, but the price of the washing machine has increased from $500 to $550. If she had used credit to buy the washing

Home ownership is the American dream! It is one of the most costly purchases an individual or family can make in their lifetime. Some people save until they have cash to purchase however, many people borrow money from a bank or lending institution; when a person borrows money to purchase a home the loan is called a mortgage. The lender is called the mortgagee and the borrower is called the mortgagor; banks have several different types of mortgages: fixed rate mortgage, adjustable rate mortgage, investment mortgage and much more. Borrowers have to undergo the lender underwriting process to show financial capability of repaying the mortgage (Makarov & Plantin, 2013). In this article I will use a fictitious person named “Julianna,” she is in the process of buying her first home at age 30; I will be her lender and will use mathematical procedures to find out what is her down payment, principle, installment payment, points (closing cost), mortgage maturity value and total interest paid.

Panna wants to buy a new suite of furniture for her flat. The furniture costs £3000 from a furniture store in her local town. The saleswoman suggests that Panna takes out a loan from the store’s finance company to fund the purchase of the furniture. The repayment loan from the finance company would be at a fixed APR of 9 per cent for a repayment term of between one and four years, which Panna can select herself. The loan would take the form of a secured loan.

First, not much is known about the vacant land, we cannot determine the Lagoon beach property’s worth. If she has $1,075,000 (Figure 6) in cash to be put as a down payment to satisfy one of the bank conditions (25% of the purchased amount), then there is no need to pledge the Lagoon beach property as a collateral. If we assume that she has $500,000 cash available as a down payment, this still will not be sufficient to secure a loan from the bank, since she will need to come up with the
