The answer is 14.9%

Explanation:

Purchase price = $200,000

Loan-to-value (LTV) = 80%

Number of years = 5 years

Owner's equity = $80,000.

Loan amount = purchase price x LTV

=$200,000 x 80%

=$160,000.

Annual expected appreciation rate on home equity =

(Loan:equity) ^-n

$160,000/$80,000^-5

=14.9%

Therefore, Annual expected appreciation rate on home equity is 14.9%
