Answer:

Total interest cost

b. $3,588

c. $3,900

d. $4,368

Explanation:

Total balance left = $39,000-$7800 (20% of Cost of cottage)=$31,200

a) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 10.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,276.

b) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 11.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,588.

c) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 12.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,900.

d) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 14% x $104 x 300 months = $4,368.
