Waleed just purchased a new house for N$120,000. He was able to make a down payment equal to 25% of the value of the house; the balance was mortgaged. The rate by the bank is 10% compounded annually. The mortgage has a 20-year amortization period (this means that payments are calculated assuming it will take 20 years to pay off the loan). Determine the size of the payments and the balance on the mortgage after 5 years

Solution

First, let's calculate the amount that was mortgaged. Waleed made a down payment of 25% on the N$120,000 house.

25% of N120,000=0.25120,000=N120,000 = 0.25 * 120,000 = N30,000

So, the amount that was mortgaged is the total cost of the house minus the down payment.

N120,000N120,000 - N30,000 = N$90,000

Next, let's calculate the size of the annual payments. The formula for the annual payment (PMT) on a mortgage is:

PMT = P * r * (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

where: P = principal amount (the amount that was mortgaged) r = annual interest rate divided by the number of periods per year n = total number of payments (or periods)

In this case, P = N$90,000, r = 10% or 0.10 (compounded annually, so we don't need to divide it), and n = 20 years.

PMT = 90,000 * 0.10 * (1 + 0.10)^20 / ((1 + 0.10)^20 - 1) PMT = N$8,718.41

So, the size of the annual payments is N$8,718.41.

Finally, let's calculate the balance on the mortgage after 5 years. The formula for the balance (B) of a loan after a certain number of payments is:

B = P * (1 + r)^n - PMT * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

In this case, we want to find the balance after 5 years, so n = 5.

B = 90,000 * (1 + 0.10)^5 - 8,718.41 * ((1 + 0.10)^5 - 1) / 0.10 B = N$75,395.41

So, the balance on the mortgage after 5 years is N$75,395.41.
