Question: 1 2 . Tom got a 3 0 year fully amortizing FRM for $ 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 at 6 % ,

12.
Tom got a 30 year fully amortizing FRM for $200,000 at 6%, with constant monthly payments. After 3 years of payments rates fall and he can get a 27 year FRM at 5%, but he must pay 2 points and $1000 in closing costs to get the new loan. Think of the refinancing decision as an investment for Tom, he pays a fee now but saves money in the future in the form of lower payments. What is the annualized IRR of refinancing for Tom assuming he prepays the new loan 5 years after refinancing?
(Clarification: Tom will prepay the new loan 3+5=8 years after the house is purchased)
