John wants to buy a property for $105,000 and wants an 80% loan. The lender indicates that a fully amortizing loan can be obtained for 30 years at 12% MEY, with loan origination fees (all lender controlled fees) of $3,500.

1] How much will the lender actually disburse?

2] What is the effective interest cost to the borrower, assuming that the mortgage is paid off after 30 years?

3] If John pays off the loan after 5 years, what is the effective interest charge? Why is it different from the APR in b?

4] Assume the lender also imposes a prepayment penalty of 2% of the outstanding balance if the loan is repaid within the first 8 years of closing. What is the effective cost of the loan if John repays after 5 years?
