Question:
Almost four years ago, Steve purchased a home and borrowed $200,000 at an annual interest rate of 6% compounded semi-annually. The mortgage contract called for monthly payments sufficient to amortize the loan over 25 years and had a term of four years. Steve recently began renegotiating the terms of the loan with his banker. The banker is willing to extend the loan for another 4-year term at the current rate of 5% compounded semi-annually. Instead of monthly, Steve asks to pay $650 every two weeks when he renews the term.
How many years will it take Steve to retire the mortgage since the end of the 1st term?
