| David obtained a fully amortizing loan 8 years ago for $12,0000 at 8% for 30 years. Mortgage rates have dropped in such a manner so as to provide a loan for 22 years at 6.5%. There is no prepayment penalty on the mortgage balance of the original loan, but 2 points will be charged on the new loan and other closing cost will be $3000. All payments are monthly. |
| How much does David need to borrow if he decides to borrow only outstanding loan balance? |
