Next week, your friends Alden and Jesse want to apply to the Fourth Global Bank for a mortgage loan. They are considering the purchase of a home that is expected to cost $155,000. Given your knowledge of personal finance, they've asked for your help in completing the Home Affordability Worksheet that follows. (Note: When completing the form, round each dollar amount to the nearest whole dollar.) To assist in the preparation of the worksheet, Alden and Jesse also collected the following information . Their financial records report a combined gross before-tax annual income of $145,000 and current (premortgage) installment loan, credit card, and car loan debt of $2,115 per month . Their property taxes and homeowner's Insurance policy are expected to cost $1,550 per year. Their best estimate of the interest rate on their mortgage is 7.5%, and they are interested in obtaining a 15-year loan. . They have accumulated savings of $38,500 that can be used to satisfy the home's down payment and closing costs. The Lender requires a minimum 20% down payment, and an affordability ratio that ranges from a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 30%.
