Paper For Above Instructions
The Hamiltons' financial situation illustrates a combination of strengths and weaknesses, characteristic of many modern households. To evaluate their request for a loan to renovate their kitchen, a series of financial calculations and assessments must occur.
Monthly Mortgage Payment Calculation
The Hamiltons presently owe $331,200 on their mortgage with a 3.3% interest rate, amortized over 25 years. Their monthly mortgage payment can be calculated using the formula for an amortizing loan:
P = [r*PV] / [1 - (1 + r)^-n]
Where:
- P = monthly payment
- r = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
- PV = present value (loan amount)
- n = number of payments (loan term in months)
Substituting in the values:
r = 3.3% / 12 = 0.00275
n = 25 * 12 = 300
P = [0.00275 * 331200] / [1 - (1 + 0.00275)^-300] = $1,488.10
After 23 payments, the outstanding balance on the mortgage can be determined using the amortization schedule or the remaining balance formula. Considering that the Hamiltons are following a structured repayment plan, we can calculate the remaining balance:
Outstanding Balance = PV * [(1 + r)^n - (1 + r)^p] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- p = number of payments made
Substituting in the values gives us:
Outstanding Balance = 331200 * [(1 + 0.00275)^300 - (1 + 0.00275)^23] / [(1 + 0.00275)^300 - 1] = $320,150.18
Additional Monthly Expenses
The Hamiltons incur additional monthly expenses of:
- Property taxes: $300
- Heating: $150
- Total expenses: $1,938.10 per month (combined with the mortgage payment)
Income Verification
Jesiah Hamilton’s annual gross income is $108,550, translating to a monthly income of:
Jesiah's Monthly Income = $108,550 / 12 = $9,045.83
Cassandra Hamilton, working part-time, earns approximately $12,590 annually, yielding a monthly income of:
Cassandra's Monthly Income = $12,590 / 12 = $1,049.17 (current), with a 2% increase projected to $1,069.17.
Assets and Liabilities
The Hamiltons have the following assets:
- House Value: $360,000
- Savings Account: $6,000
- Undeveloped Property: $30,000
- Silverado Value: $40,700
- Investment in Bond Mutual Fund: $51,000
- Valued Painting: $35,000
- Total Assets: $512,700
The liabilities include:
- Mortgage: $320,150.18 (outstanding balance)
- Truck Loan: monthly payment to be determined
- Credit Card Balances: $2,500 (Costco), $3,000 (RBC VISA), $2,500 (Capital One), $1,000 (The Bay) - assuming maxed out but assuming no current debt in the case of The Bay)
- Total Liabilities: A calculated total based on above monthly debt obligations.
Debt Consolidation and Approvals
The Hamiltons may consider consolidating their consumer debts into a single loan at 6% for 5 years. The calculation for monthly payments would follow the same amortization formula used earlier, applying the total liabilities into a new loan context.
It should be noted that the Gross Debt Service (GDS) and Total Debt Service (TDS) ratios should be calculated:
- GDS = (Housing Costs / Gross Income) x 100%
- TDS = (Total Debt Payments / Gross Income) x 100%
These ratios can help determine the affordability of the mortgage and additional loans. In this case, the results will support or weaken the case for the renovation loan.
Final Credit Decision
In considering the 5 C's of credit analysis:
- Character: Satisfactory - history of repayments and acknowledgment of responsibilities.
- Capacity: Marginal - income relative to loans is questionable, especially with pending debt consolidations.
- Capital: Satisfactory - substantial assets outweigh liabilities, but debt levels may still contribute to rising credit issues.
- Collateral: Satisfactory - significant value exists in physical property/assets backing the loans.
- Credit: Marginal - maxed credit cards may raise flags on creditworthiness.
Considering these factors collectively, it leans towards a cautious but forward-thinking approval, assuming that the focus remains on reducing debt exposure through potential asset leverage.
