Offer 1: $175,000 Offer 2: $172,700



Pretty simple Q.
Offer 1 :
P=1250 ; months : 12 ; amount to repay : 190000
amount remain after 12 months.
190000-(12*1250) = 175000

Offer 2 :
P=1775; months : 12 ; amount to repay : 194000
amount remain after 12 months.
194000-(12*1775) = 172700

Under Offer 2, $4,000 in refinancing fees would be added to bring the principal to $194,000, but she would pay down $1,775 in principal with each monthly payment during the first year.

In the first column of the table, select the amount of principal that would remain after 12 monthly payments under Offer 1. In the second column of the table, select the amount of principal that would remain after 12 monthly payments under Offer 2. Make only two selections, one in each column.

A. $168,700
B. $171,000
C. $172,700
D. $175,000
E. $176,700
F. $179,000


Offer 1 :
Principal Amount = 1,90,000
Per Month = 1250
12 Months = 12*1250=12500+2500=15000
Balance = 190000-15000 = 175000

Offer 2 :
Principal Amount = 1,94,000
Per Month = 1775
12 Months = 12*1775=17750+3550=21,300
Balance = 194000-21300 = 1,72,700

So Option D and option C.

Hi, one doubt. Why didn't we include refinance fees in the principal as mentioned in the question for Offer2?

ishitaz - The refinance fees is already added in the principal in Offer 2. The principal amount of $194,000 in Offer 2 is inclusive of the $4000 refinancing fees. The questions says -

....Under Offer 2, $4,000 in refinancing fees would be added to bring the principal to $194,000, but she would....

This means that the $4000 refinancing fees when added to the principal, brings the total value of principal to $194,000.

Hope that clears your doubt.
