Julia, a close friend, is considering buying her first home. Based on her research, she desires to live in her new home for at least ten years. Her visit with a realtor revealed the varying tastes and quality of homes in her area of choice. Successfully, she narrowed her choice to a home valued at $500,000. Julia has been preparing for this purchase for a while and, as such, saved $120,000 towards a down payment. You recall from FIN 310 a few things you would like to share with your friend, ranging from the duration and terms effect. As you both discussed, Julia desires to know more. Julia shared that the bank offered two options: a 20-year versus a 30-year mortgage with a 5.85% and 6.40% rate, respectively. Based on the information shared, you felt you needed to show Julia the effect of rates and duration. As such, you have decided to work through both scenarios and share with her the following: a. The monthly payment for the 20-year versus the 30-year mortgage. b. The interest your friend will pay over the life of both loans. c. Based on the above, you solved for the effective annual rate for both loans. What does the effective annual rate mean?
