Two years ago you took out a mortgage at 4.5%. The initialbalance of the loan was $200,000 and it was for 25 years (300months.) Today, you observe that you could take out a new loan at4.25% (with a 300 month term), but you would have to pay $5,000 inclosing and other fees.
What is the current value of the loan (liability from yourperspective)?
*Note: The answer is $195,579.52. I want to know how to get theanswer with a financial calculator.
