Question

You have taken out a $225,000, 3/1 ARM. The initial rate of 5.8% (annual) is locked in for three years and is expected to increase to 6.5% at the end of the lock period. Calculate the initial payment on the loan. (Note: the term on this 3/1 ARM is 30 years.)

Answer 1

$1,320.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Loan amount = $225,000

Rate = 5.80%

Years = 30

PMT = ?

Initial payment = PMT(Rate/12, Years*12, -225,000)

Initial payment = PMT(5.80%/12, 360, -225,000)

Initial payment = 1320.185230439806

Initial payment = $1,320.19

Therefore, the initial payment on the loan is $1,320.19
