Kendall Is Considering the Purchase of a Home

question 39

Essay

Kendall is considering the purchase of a home. He has saved $22,000 for a down payment on a home and will finance the remainder of the purchase price with a home mortgage loan. Kendall currently rents an apartment for $1,200 per month and does not anticipate an increase in his monthly income. He wants to make sure that the monthly payment on his new home does not exceed $1,200, after-tax. Kendall has a marginal tax rate of 25 percent and an average tax rate of 22 percent. Assuming the monthly mortgage payment (before-tax) will be equal to 1 percent of the initial mortgage balance and the entire amount of each monthly payment will be deductible home mortgage interest, what is the maximum amount that Kendall can spend on a new home?
