Question

An FHA-insured loan in the amount of $157,500 at 5.5% for 30 years closed on July 17. The first monthly payment is due on September 1. Using a 360-day year and assuming that interest is being paid for the day of closing, what was the amount of the interest adjustment the buyer had to make at the settlement?

Answer 1

the amount of the interest adjustment is $336.875

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of the interest adjustment is as follows;

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ total number of days

= $157,500 × 5.5% × 14 days ÷ 360 days

= $336.875

Hence, the amount of the interest adjustment is $336.875

Therefore the given formula is applied
