is taken into consideration as an incremental growth rate for the income generated in
Melbourne for next 20 years. In addition, the inflation rate is also added to the income group

Both the tables relatively represent the minimum years that needs to be taken by the
client to purchase the property with an upfront payment of 20% and upfront payment of 5%.
The calculation relatively represents different level of expenses and income that will be
incurred by the client before purchasing and after purchasing the property. From the overall
calculation it is detected that with an upfront payment of 5% the property can be bought
within 2 years of savings. On the other hand, with an upfront payment of 20% the property
can only be bought in 4th year after the client has accumulated adequate savings (Rogers &
Dufty-Jones, 2015).
Question 6:
Property value $ 774,533
Loan amount $ 735,806
Year Interest rate Mortgage Payment Saved Savings
3 3.39% $24,944 $ 105,373 $ 80,429
4 3.39% $24,944 $ 132,695 $107,751
5 3.39% $24,944 $ 163,071 $138,127
6 7.00% $51,506 $ 196,694 $145,188
The mortgage payment condition of the client is relatively evaluated in the above
table, changes in interest rate would not affect the ability of the client to successfully pay her
mortgages. The savings that is conducted by the client is relatively adequate where the
mortgage payment can be conducted regardless of the increment in interest rates. The
calculation relatively represents that increasing the interest from 3.39% to 7% would
eventually increase the mortgage payment from $24,044 to $51,506. However, this will not
impact the Savings and the earnings that is obtained by the client, where she will smoothly
conduct her activities (Akimov, Stevenson & Young, 2015).

Question 7:
The negative impact of job loss, increment in interest rate more than 8%, economic
crisis and income loss would relevantly result in the failure of the drafted financial plan for
the client. The above measures would directly hinder the progress of the client in maintaining
adequate income to support her Austrian dream of owning a house in Melbourne. However,
on other circumstances the financial plan would eventually allow the client to effectively
support her operations and maintain the property (Kohler & Van, 2015). The financial plan
address for the client comprises of all the relevant expenses, income, mortgage payments, and
savings that will be conducted over the period of her life.
