Example: As a real estate sales person, you try to keep up on the FHA rates from week to week. Today you were told that the FHA terms were as follows: 10.5% with 1/4 point up front, 10.0% with 1/2% up front, 9.5% with 2.5% up front, and 9.0% with 4.25 points up front. These rates apply to fixed rate, thirty-year loans. Payments and compounding are monthly. Payments are in arrears. (1) By how much do those "points up front" increase each of the quoted rates? (2) What do the points up front amount to on a $90'000 loan, and what are the payments on a $90'000 loan in each case? Solution: The first of the above two questions is answered most easily by looking at a $100.00 loan. The amount of the loan does not matter because the result that you are after is an interest rate. Ask yourself the question, what would be the payment on a 30 year, $100.00 mortgage at 10.5% APR. The cash-flow schedule follows: 1PV = 100.00 = 10.5+ 12 1 2 131415 ~6 1 PMT=? n = 30 x 12 355 356 357 258 359 360 FV 0 This is just a payment calculation. Because the payment occurs at the end of the period, make sure that the BGN indicator is not on in the EL-733A display. Also, check to make sure the FIN indicator is on in the display telling you that you are in FIN mode: (Mode: FIN) 100 E 10.5 2nd (E) 30 2ndF IX14 0 ID [INT1 Result: -0.91 It would take payments of 910 a month to pay off a $100.00, 10.5% loan in 30 years. But that is not the question. The 1/4 point up front requirement actually reduces the net amount of money borrowed by 250, right? But the payments don't change, which means the actual APR is a little higher. Here are the keystrokes: 2ndF PICO Dl E .25 Wi PV Result: 0.88 The computation of M takes a few moments. Interest is not something that can be solved for directly, so the calculator has to use a numerical guessing game to arrive at an answer. The result here, 0.88 is a periodic rate. Multiply by12 to get an APR: M 12 j=1 Result: 10.53
