Planning to Purchase a First Home
Introduction
My name is Hannah Tran. I am an international student undertaking my last year for a Bachelor of Business degree at University of Australia. I am living with my sister. However, I would like to make up a plan to purchase my first home 8 years after graduating from university. At the end of this year, I would have $6,000 set aside from home purchase. Each year, I would earn 5.5% interest on savings. I do not expect receiving gifts from my family on the date of my first home purchase, as I would like to buy the house all by myself. My target is a little unit in suburb area, which would cost $390,000. I have 20% cash deposit and 2% up-front costs of purchase price of my first home. The interest rate that I have to pay for the bank for my home loan is 6.05% pa, compounding monthly. I plan to repay my home loan in 20 years after my purchase.

A. Loan Repayments
The amount of cash needed to deposit = 390,000 x 20% = $78,000
The amount of up-front costs of home purchase = 390,000 x 2% = $7,800 1. Home loan
The deposit and up-front costs must be paid at the time of purchasing. Therefore, the amount of the loan needed to purchase my first home:
390,000 – 78,000 = $312,000
Since the interest rate on home loan is 6.05% compounding monthly, the interest rate per period is: i = 6.05%/12 = 0.504% 2. Monthly loan repayment
Amount of monthly loan repayment:

312,000 = PMT {[1- (1+0.00504)-240] / 0.005}
<=> PMT = $2,244.27
=> Amortisation schedule for my first home: Month | Beginning Balance | Interest | Payment | Ending Balance | 1 | 312,000 | 1573 | 2,244.27 | 311,328.73 | 2 | 311,328.73 | 1569.61568 | 2,244.27 | 310,654.08 | 3 | 310,654.08 | 1566.214298 | 2,244.27 | 309,976.02 | 4 |

    The first option that Alexander has is through a savings bank, transferring the mortgage from seller to buyer. The mortgages account for $400,000, bringing the total investment including Alexander’s contributions to $480,000. Expenses already incurred include mortgage origination fees and legal expenses, which are not included in the closing costs, which include the price of the property, bank fees, and $375,000 in escrow. After accounting for these calculations for remodeling, there is a $60,000 gap required to be paid from the initial $165,000.

    In the 19th century, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison sent the U.S Navy into the Mediterranean to defeat the Barbary pirates. Piracy was a major concern for decades but it took a long time for military action to be taken due to insufficient funds. Barbary pirates from the northern coast of North Africa "preyed on commerce in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean." They terrorized people for ransom money and blackmail. Just like today, religion is an important determinant of victims. Pirates were Muslims so who they would capture would depend on the captive's religion. Christians were their favorite. If a prisoner decided to convert to Islam, their work load would be lightened. On the other hand, if a prisoner refused to convert, he risked being burned alive or impaled. Three months into Jefferson's presidency, he sent four warships to bombard Tripoli, one of the corrupted pirate states. There were battles for the next thirty years. France finally cleared piracy out of North Africa completely by attacking and conquering Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco, the other pirate states. Lewis Lord said, "A key element in America's war on terrorism is a willingness to overthrow regimes that wage convert war." That is exactly what happened then, and what is happening now.…

There are two passionate sides to this controversial topic; one side believes that suicide for any reason is wrong and immoral because of religious reasons. The other side believes that each person should have the right to decide when and where and how they will die.…
