Answer 1

$27,500

Discount points are also called mortgage points and are fees paid as prepaid interest rate on a mortgage property.

One discount point is equivalent to 1% of the loan amount.

In the given scenario a down payment of 10% was made.

So total down payment to be made is 10% + 1% = 11%

Amount is cash for closing = 0.11 * 250,000 = $27,500
