Multiple Choice

Use the information for the question(s) below.
You are purchasing a new home and need to borrow $250,000 from a mortgage lender. The mortgage lender quotes you a
rate of 6.25% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. The mortgage lender also tells you that if you are willing to pay two
points, they can offer you a lower rate of 6.0% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. One point is equal to 1% of the loan
value. So if you take the lower rate and pay the points, you will need to borrow an additional $5000 to cover points you are
paying the lender.

• A) $1570
• B) $1500
• C) $1530
