Homework Statement
House one is going for 250.000 in the suburb and has a new power plant being built and also has a decrease in crime. House two is also 250.000 in city has an increase crime rate but has a new school being built. What house will be the best value in a 10 year span if you buy the house in full now?
Homework Equations
Formula Future Value of Compound Interest: A=p(1+i)^n
The Attempt at a Solution
House one increasing by .02 each year due to the decrease in crime: A=250.000(1+.02/1)^10 = 304.748605 - 250.000 = [54.748605] increase
House one also is decrease in value by .04 each year due to the new power plant: A=250.000(1-.04/1)^10 = 166.208159 - 250.000 = 83.791841 decrease
Altogether: 250.000+54.748605-83.791841 = 220.956764 --> value at the end of a ten year span.
House two increasing by .05 due to a new school being built: A=250.000(1+.05/1)^10 = 407.2236567 - 250.000 = [157.2236567] increase
House two also has a decrease due to crime rates on the rise: A=250.000(1-.07/1)^10 = 120.9955768 - 250.000 = [129.0044232] decrease
Altogether: 250.000+157.2236567-129.0044232 = 278.2192335
Thus house two is the best value in ten years.
Ok after that everything is fine. My questions are...How would i set up mortgage payments for each of the two houses. Also how would i set up the interest rate i will you get for each house? How much will would i own of each house (equity) in the 10 years?
Thank you
