An investor has owned a property for $15$ years, the value of which is now to $$200,000.$ The balance on the original mortgage is

$$100,000$ and the monthly payments are $$1,100$ with $15$ years remaining. The investor would like to obtain $$50,000$ in additional

obtained at a $14$ percent rate with a $15-$year term. Alternatively, a wraparound loan for $$150,000$ can be obtained at a $12$ percent rate

and a $15-$year term. All loans are fully amortizing.
