Answer:c.

No, because the lender estimated 6.2% of the home loan in closing costs which does not fall between 3 - 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation of the cost of loan =200+530+600+265+575+130+800

=3100

Now percentage of the estimate=

(3100/50000)*100%

=6.2%

C- The lender should not consider them as reasonable amount of closing costs because the lender estimated 6.2% of the home loan in closing costs which does not fall between 3-5%.

The lender cannot be accepting these costs as this will lead to the lender incurring losses over a longer period after doing all the necessary calculations.

  • The lender has disbursed a home loan of $50000 on which he has estimated certain closing costs and are considered to be true and accurate. The costs are loan origination, title insurance, attorney's fees, appraisal, inspection, recording fees, escrow, etc.

  • The amounts will add up as a summation of all the fees and charges  as titles above are mentioned which will end up totaling to $3100

[tex]200+530+600+265+575+130+800=3100[/tex]

  • The calculation of of costs in to the percentage of total home loan is calculated as dividing the cost with total loan amount which will be totaled as 6.2%.

[tex]\frac{3100}{50000} *100= 6.2[/tex]

  • The costing of this home loan is way above the ideal range of 3-5% and is not worth disbursing and may be called back.

Hence, the correct option is C that the amounts of $3100 are not a reasonable amount of closing costs because the lender estimated 6.2% of the home loan in closing costs which does not fall between the range of 3-5%.
