    Time Value of Money

    To better understand time value for money, data on mortgage interest rate was collected
    from a sample of five online mortgage lenders. The data included interest rate for a 15 year fixed
    mortgage and a 30 year fixed mortgage. The five selected online mortgage lenders were Lending
    Tree, Quicken Loans Inc., AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation, SunTrust, and PennyMac. The
    different interest rate was then converted to effective annual rate (EAR).
    In addition to calculating the EAR, this paper also discusses the different rates and these
    rates impact on a home buyer. It also discusses the one mistake that almost every home buyer
    makes when determining their mortgage payment. Finally, the paper will outline the reason behind
    different mortgage rates by different lenders and also the cheapest mortgage based solely on EAR.
    The different interest rates for the five lenders together with their effective annual rate are
    summarized in the table below.
