Your dad bought a house for you 10 years ago. He took out a $200,000 mortgage then. The mortgage has a 15-year term with monthly payments and has an APR of 8.00%. He paid monthly mortgage for 10 years or 120 months. On February 1, 2016, you became the owner of the house and started to be responsible for the rest of the mortgage payments. (Hint: If you continue with the mortgage, you will pay the monthly payment for another 60 months with the first payment due on March 1, 2016.) You are thinking about refinancing the mortgage. On February 1, 2016, how much is the balance of this mortgage? [If the refinance is for another 10 years with an APR of 1.5%, what is going to be your monthly saving, i.e. the decrease in monthly payment, after the refinance?
