Guys, I'm writing a program
that computes the annual after-tax cost of a new house for the first year
of ownership. The cost is computed as the annual mortgage cost minus the tax
savings. The input should be the price of the house and the down
payment.
The annual mortgage cost can be estimated as 3% of the initial loan balance
credited toward paying off the loan principal plus 8% of the initial loan
balance in interest. The initial loan balance is the price minus the down
payment. Assume a 35% marginal tax rate and assume that interest payments are
tax deductible. So, the tax savings is 35% of the interest payment.
The sample output should be:
House price: 220000
Down payment: 10000
Annual after-tax cost: 17220.00 The problem is that my sample output is not equal to my program, hope you could help me out, thanks
formula for the following: initialloan = houseprice - dwpayment;
taxsave = annualmortagage*.35;
annualtax = annualmortage - taxsave;
mortgage..... (having problems with analyzing 3 and 8 percent, im kinda confused)
Hope you guys could lend me a hand... thanks
