Four years ago, you obtained a $4,000,000 interest-only (I-O) mortgage to help finance the acquisition of a small rental property. The original loan term is 10 years. The remaining loan term is 6 years (4 years have passed). The interest rate on the existing mortgage is 6.00% (annual). A new interest-only mortgage for $4,000,000 with a 4.75% (annual) rate can be obtained. The cost of obtaining the new mortgage will be 3% of current loan balance. A prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the remaining mortgage balance will also need to be paid to the original lender to refinance. The expected time before paying off any outstanding loan is 6 years from today. What is the net present value (NPV) of refinancing today?
