- Home equity = 450000 - 250000 = 200000
- Loan-to-value = 100 x 250000 / 450000 = 55.5556%
- Credit line = 85% x 450000 - 250000 = 132500
- Draw-period payment = 0 x 8.5%/12 = 0
- Repayment-period payment = P i / (1 - (1+i)^-n) on 0 over 240 months = 0
- Total interest = 0 in the draw period + 0 in repayment = 0
