A buyer purchases a home for $325,000 with a 10% down payment. The buyer also pays 2 points on the loan amount. If each point equals 1% of the loan amount, what is the total cash needed at closing for down payment and points combined?
Correct Answer
C) $58,500
Correct: C - Down payment: $325,000 × 10% = $32,500. Loan amount: $325,000 - $32,500 = $292,500. Points: $292,500 × 2% = $5,850. Total: $32,500 + $5,850 = $38,350. Wait, that's A. Let me recalculate: Points should be $292,500 × 2% = $5,850. Total cash: $32,500 + $5,850 = $38,350. The answer should be A, not C.
