13.4: Special Application – Mortgages
- Three years ago, Phalatda took out a mortgage on her new home in Kelowna for $628,200 less a $100,000 down payment at 6.49% compounded semi-annually. She is making monthly payments over her three-year term based on a 30-year amortization. At renewal, she is able to obtain a new mortgage on a four-year term at 6.19% compounded semi-annually while continuing with monthly payments and the original amortization timeline. Calculate the following: a) Interest and principal portions in the first term. b) New mortgage payment amount in the second term. c) Balance remaining after the second term.
Step 1 : Find the initial payment.
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 30 \times 12 = 360 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 6.49[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV = 628,\!200 − 100,\!000 = 528,\!200[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$3,\!305.288742[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -3,305.29 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 2: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the first term (payment 1-36).
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 36 ↓ BAL = $508,947.54
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 36 ↓ ↓ PRN = $19,252.46 INT = $99,737.98
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 27 \times 12 = 324 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 6.19[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV = 508,\!947.54[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$3,\!211.32429[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -3,211.32 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the second term (payment 1-48).
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 48 ↓ BAL = $475,372.69
- The Verhaeghes have signed a three-year closed fixed rate mortgage with a 20-year amortization and monthly payments. They negotiated an interest rate of 4.84% compounded semi-annually. The terms of the mortgage allow for the Verhaeghes to make a single top-up payment at any one point throughout the term. The mortgage principal was $323,000 and 18 months into the term they made one top-up payment of $20,000. a)What is the balance remaining at the end of the term? b)By what amount was the interest portion reduced by making the top-up payment?
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 20 \times 12 = 240 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 4.84[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV = 323,\!000[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$2,\!094.701842[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -2,094.70 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 2: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the first 18 months.
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 18 ↓ BAL = $308,009.80
Step 3: Find New Balance after $20,000 top-up payment.
New Balance = $308,009.80 − $20,000 = $288,009.80. Reinput PV = $288,009.80.
Step 4: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the last 18 months of the first term.
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 18 ↓ BAL = $270,417.34
Step 1: Find Original BAL paid without top-up payment (payments 1-36).
Reinput PV = $323,000
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 36 ↓ BAL = $291,904.76
Step 2: Find Interest Difference.
[latex]\begin{align} \text{Interest Difference}&=\$291,\!904.76 − \$270,\!417.34 − \$20,\!000\\ &= \$1,\!487.42 \end{align}[/latex]
- Fifteen years ago, Clarissa’s initial principal on her mortgage was $408,650. She set up a 30-year amortization, and in her first 10-year term of monthly payments her mortgage rate was 7.7% compounded semi-annually. Upon renewal, she took a further five-year term with monthly payments at a mortgage rate of 5.69% compounded semi-annually. Today, she renews the mortgage but shortens the amortization period by five years when she sets up a three-year closed fixed rate mortgage of 3.45% compounded semi-annually with monthly payments. What principal will she borrow in her third term and what is the remaining balance at the end of the term? What total interest portion and principal portion will she have paid across all 18 years?
Step 1 : Find the initial payment for 10-year term.
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 30 \times 12 = 360 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 7.7[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV = 408,\!650[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$2,\!879.565159[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -2,879.57 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 2: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the 10-year term (payments 1-120).
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 120 ↓ BAL = $355,303.81
Step 3 : Find the payment for 5-year term.
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 20 \times 12 = 240 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 5.69[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV = 355,\!303.81[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$2,\!468.979621[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -2,468.98 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 4: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the 5-year term (payments 1-120).
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 60 ↓ BAL = $299,756.24
Step 5 : Find the payment for 3-year term with amortization period shortened by 5 years. Number of years remaining = 15 – 5 = 10.
[latex]N = (\text{Number of Years}) \times (\text{Payments Per Year})[/latex] [latex]N = 10 \times 12 = 120 \;\text{payments}[/latex] [latex]I/Y = 3.45[/latex] [latex]P/Y = 12[/latex] [latex]C/Y = 2[/latex] [latex]FV = 0[/latex] [latex]PV =299,\!756.24[/latex] [latex]CPT\; PMT =-\$2,\!953.710318[/latex]
Make sure to reinput PMT = -2,953.71 (Input as a negative value rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 6: Use the AMORT function to find the BAL on the after the 3-year term (payments 1-36).
2nd AMORT P1 = 1 P2 = 36 ↓ BAL = $220,328.74
Start of 3rd term principal = $299,756.24. Remaining balance at end of 3rd term = $220,328.74.
[latex]\begin{align} \text{Total principal across all}\;18\;\text{years}&=\$408,\!650 - \$220,\!328.74\\ &= \$188,\!321.26 \end{align}[/latex]
[latex]\text{Total interest across all}\;18\;\text{years}[/latex] [latex]=(120 \times 2,\!879.57) + (60 \times 2,\!468.98) + (36 \times 2,\!953.71) - 188,\!321.26[/latex] [latex]= \$411,\!499.50[/latex]

Business math.
Business math refers to the practical application of mathematical concepts and principles to business situations. It is concerned with solving problems related to accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing, and other areas within commercial operations. Here are some key aspects of business math:
Calculating Profit and Loss
Profit and loss calculations are crucial in business math. They help determine the efficiency of a business and the potential for future growth. Profit is calculated by subtracting the total cost of producing goods or services from the revenue generated.
Balancing the Books
Accounting involves balancing the books, which is a fundamental part of business math. This means ensuring that the sum of the debit and credit sides of a company's financial records are equal. Balancing the books is necessary for accurate financial reporting and decision-making.
Percentages
Percentages are used frequently in business math. They help in calculating the increase or decrease in a company's profitability, market share, or other key performance indicators. Understanding percentages is crucial for making informed decisions in business.
Interest Rates
Interest rates play a significant role in business math. They help businesses understand the cost of borrowing money, the potential return on investments, and the overall financial health of a company. Interest rates are used in various financial calculations, such as calculating the total cost of a loan or assessing the profitability of an investment.
Cost Accounting
Cost accounting involves analyzing and allocating costs to different products or services within a business. This helps businesses understand their costs and pricing strategies. Cost accounting is a critical part of business math, as it helps companies make informed decisions about product pricing and resource allocation.
Inventory Management
Inventory management is another aspect of business math. It involves tracking the flow of inventory, predicting future demand, and managing the cost of holding inventory. Effective inventory management is essential for maintaining customer satisfaction and minimizing costs.
Financial Analysis
Financial analysis is a complex area of business math. It involves interpreting financial statements, calculating financial ratios, and making predictions about future financial performance. Financial analysis is crucial for making informed decisions about a company's future growth and profitability.
Decision Making
Business math provides the tools and techniques necessary for making informed decisions in business. By understanding the principles of business math, businesses can make better decisions about pricing, production, inventory, and other critical aspects of their operations.
In conclusion, business math is a vital aspect of commercial operations. It provides the tools and techniques necessary for making informed decisions, managing finances, and assessing performance.

Prior to beginning work with RETAILING , students should sign in to their account at vb.KnowledgeMatters.com and go through the Tutorial. Lesson: Market ResearchDescription. In this lesson, students learn that market research is critical to the success of a retail business. They begin by taking a survey of prospective customers to learn both product preferences and time of day preferences. Students then try to save some money by taking a similar survey but with reduced sample size. They are introduced to the mathematical concept of decreasing reliability of a survey as the sample size decreases. Students then explore the more sophisticated technique of analyzing survey data through segmentation. Finally, students use market research information to book radio advertising on a radio station that matches the demographic of their target customers. They run the simulation to try to achieve a specific profit goal. LEARNING OBJECTIVES- Define market research
- Explain the difference between primary and secondary research
- Determine an adequate sample size for a survey
- Use segmentation to analyze survey results
- Use market research to make smart advertising decisions for a business
Lesson: ProductIn this lesson, students begin as managers of a grocery store that is performing poorly. They look at their location and surrounding customers. Next, students use surveys to discover what products these customers want. Unfortunately, those aren’t the products their store is currently stocking. They replace a non-popular product with a popular one and see sales rise. Students then add a display to carry another popular product and and see an additional increase in sales. Finally, students take over an electronics store with similar problems and work to change the product offerings in pursuit of a specific weekly profit goal. - Explain the importance of product choices in retailing
- Use surveys to determine most popular products
- Be able to change product mix and interpret sales results
- Manage product selection to achieve profit goals
Lesson: PlaceIn this lesson, students learn about location...location, location. Students begin by looking around their city. They identify the available square footage of buildings and the cost per square foot for the space. They compare costs per square foot for downtown versus suburban locations. Students next study what types of customers are near each location. Students also scout competitor locations within the city. Finally, students are asked to choose a location for their store. They run the simulation to try to reach a specific profit goal. If they are not successful, they try relocating their store. - Understand the concept of cost per square foot
- Be able to compare amount and cost of space at different locations
- Assess the types of customers around a given location
- Assess potential locations given competitor locations
- Choose a store location that will yield a profit
Lesson: PriceIn this lesson, students see how prices interact with the law of supply and demand to determine sales levels. They begin by reviewing the concepts of price, cost and margin. They then intentionally set prices quite high and observe that volume and profits drop. Next, they try setting prices very low. The observe greatly increased volume, but profits remain low due to slim margins. They try a price in between the initial price points and see how profit can be maximized. They see how profit can be plotted as a curve against price levels. Students then learn about the use of “loss leaders” to drive customers into stores with very low prices on attractive items. Finally, students are challenged to set prices for their store to meet a specific weekly profit goal. - Explain the relationship between price, cost, and margin
- Explain how prices and sales volume is related
- Find a price that maximizes profit by generated reasonable volume and reasonable margins
- Define a “loss leader”
- Set prices across all products to achieve a profit goal
Lesson: Promotion - Traditional MediaIn this lesson, students study the role of promotion in the marketing mix. They begin by finding their current weekly revenue on their Income Statement. Students then examine where their current customers are coming from -- a relatively small area of the city. To grow their customer base, they lease a billboard across town then compare their increase in revenue with the expense of the billboard. As an alternative to billboard promotion, they try running a one page ad in a newspaper circular. Students compare the revenue and expenses of the two different forms of promotion. Finally, students use promotions of their choosing to achieve a weekly revenue goal while keeping their promotional spending below a specified level. - Understand promotion as a key element of the marketing mix
- Identify different types of promotion
- Track revenue and expenses associated with promotional activities
- Be able to compare efficiency of promotional campaigns
- Choose promotional means to achieve business goals
Lesson: Promotion - EmailIn this lesson, students explore the use of Email as part of the marketing mix. Email is a relatively new, but extremely important, component of retail promotion. Students begin by looking atways to assemble target lists, including customer loyalty programs and purchased lists of Email addresses. They purchase a list and then make a strong offer to attract customers to sign up to receive more Emails. Students discover some perils of Email promotion by trying to send to the same list too frequently. This results in high spam reports that could shut down their Email capability. Finally, students use what they have learned about Email to promote their business successfully and reach a specific profit goal. - Identify different sources of Email address lists
- Understand the importance of subject lines and offers in Email marketing
- Track and analyze Email response metrics
- Avoid spam reports by properly spacing Emails
- Use Email promotion to achieve profit goals
Lesson: Staffing, Selling & Customer ServiceIn this lesson, students take responsibility for staffing several types of retail stores. They begin in a grocery store and set conservative staffing levels for cashiers and stockers. They observe customers complaining about long lines and unstocked shelves. Students correct the staffing problem and observe increased profit on their Income Statement. Next students switch to an electronics store with high-ticket items that may require consultative selling. They use sales reports to find an item that is selling poorly. They then add salespeople and use the sales report to examine the subsequent increase in sales. Finally, students take on a sporting goods store with poor overall staffing and are challenged to staff the store to make a specific profit goal. - Explain several different job functions within a retail store
- List the problems that can result from understaffing at each position
- Discuss why some retail establishments staff salespeople while others don’t
- Understand the expense/revenue tradeoff of staffing decisions
- Adequately staff a retail store to achieve a profit goal
Lesson: Purchasing & Inventory ControlIn this lesson, students take over the role of purchasing manager in a retail business. They begin by intentionally purchasing a very low, conservative amount. They observe employees and customers complaining that they can’t find products they need. Next, they try purchasing very large amounts. This eliminates stock-outs, but now they observe certain products expiring. Students identify a specific product with a short shelf-life and set a custom purchasing level to eliminate expiration. Then students see how they can re-allocate space in their backroom to insure adequate stockpiles of products. Finally, students take control of all purchasing to try to run a full week with no products expiring and no complaints of customers being unable to find goods. - Explain why purchasing is essential to a retail business
- Understand target inventory levels
- Explain the tradeoffs between purchasing too much and too little
- Set custom purchasing policies for rapidly expiring items
- Manage purchasing for efficiency and customer satisfaction
Lesson: MerchandisingIn this lesson, students take over control of the layout of their store. Students begin by finding their weekly revenue on their Income Statement. Their revenue is good, but not great. They then identify whether certain items in the store are more likely “needs” or “impulse” items. Students are next introduced to the merchandising concept of putting needs in the back of the store to draw customers past impulse items. They rearrange a need item and watch as revenue increases. Students then place a “complementary” good next to the item it complements. Again, they experience rising sales. Finally, students are asked to apply these principles by rearranging their store layout to achieve a specific weekly revenue goal. - Define merchandising in a retail store
- Identify items that are likely needs
- Identify items that are likely impulse purchases
- Identify items that are likely complementers
- Describe strategies for placing needs, impulse items, and complementers
- Use merchandising principles to improve the revenue of a business
Lesson: Security & Risk ManagementIn this lesson, students take on the role of security consultant for three different types of retail stores. They begin by looking at shrinkage (unexplained product shortages) at a grocery store. They identify which items are likely being shoplifted and reduce shoplifting by moving those items to more visible areas. Next, they look at an electronics store with high value items. They install an expensive scanner system and compare its cost with the shoplifting losses prevented. Finally, they head to a sporting goods store with medium value items and try to find an appropriate security system that will reduce losses within a certain budget. - Explain the importance of security in a retail business
- Given different options for increasing security
- Analyze the cost-effectiveness of a security system
- Plan store security to achieve profit goals
Lesson: Financing & Business PlanningIn this lesson, students will discover how to estimate their financing needs when starting a new business. They begin by figuring out how much they will need to spend on their building lease, equipment leases, and initial inventory. They then add in staffing costs to estimate their total start-up expenses. They take out a loan for the appropriate amount and start the business. After several weeks, they look at their Balance Sheet to see what their lowest cash position was. Using this information, they take on the challenge of starting an even larger retail store. Their goal is to borrow enough money to get the business off the ground while minimizing financing costs. - Understand that most business require substantial financing (capital) to get started
- Be able to estimate start-up costs for a business
- Monitor cash levels to determine adequacy of financing
- Extrapolate from a small business to a larger business when estimating financing needs
- Acquire adequate financing to start a business while minimizing financing costs
Lesson: Retailing Mogul - Unique City Per ClassIn this capstone project, students put to use the knowledge and skills they have learned in the lessons. They are challenged to build a retail grocery business from the ground up. They must choose a location, design their store layout, staff the business, choose products to carry, set prices, and more. All students start in the same city and pursue a specific profit goal. By default, the class scoreboard is turned on so students can compare their profitability to others.

They can start grocery, sporting goods, and electronics stores. They can also start multiple stores of each type. This project is open-ended; students do not have a specific profit goal and can continue on as long as they desire. By default, the class scoreboard is turned on so instructors can use this project as a competition. - Understand how to start a grocery business
- Understand how to start a sporting goods business
- Understand how to start an electronics business
- Compare and contrast running different types of retail businesses

Lesson: Extra Credit: TurnaroundIn this extra credit project, students take over a struggling sporting goods retailer. The business has poor staffing, inappropriate product selection, and a terrible layout. Students are challenged to find and diagnose the problems. They then set about correcting them. Students learn that a single correction may not produce profits if other factors are not aligned. Eventually, students work through all the issues to achieve a profit. By default, the class scoreboard is turned on so students can compete against each other for the title of “Turnaround King.” - Identify problems within an existing business
