Hi All,
I am reviewing the formulas within the reading for mortgage fixed payment and I am unable to match the calculation amounts. Hopefully someone can clarify they are getting the same result. I see two items that are giving me pause.
The second graphic below (bottom of page 6 in the reading) has a 1- after the summation term, whereas the top graphic (top of page 5) does not. When adding the 1- to the top formula, I come up with a value of ~12ok.
Top Formula - Calculation without 1-
477.42*360*(1/(1+(.04/12))^360) = 100,000
477.42*360*0.30179586515 = 100,000
51870.0174984 = 100,000
Top Formula - Calculation with 1-
477.42*360*[1-(1/(1+(.04/12))^360)] = 100,000
477.42*360*0.69820413484 = 100,000
120001.1825 = 100,000
I checked the PDF again to ensure I hadn't overlooked any raised revisions, so hopefully someone can advise if I am making a mistake, or if there are indeed inconsistencies above.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Josh
