Answer:
The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found this:
Tremaine wants a one bedroom townhouse in a trendy new development downtown; average cost is $145,000. He is preapproved for a 4.38% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage and has saved $15,000 for a down payment.
- What will Tremaine’s monthly payment be?
-
How much total interest will he pay over the course of the mortgage
-
If Tremaine waited until he had $30,000 saved for a down payment, what will his monthly payment be?
1. Tremaine's loan = $145,000 - $15,000 = $130,000
monthly payment = loan / annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 0.365%, 360 periods = 200.1694
monthly payment = $130,000 / 200.1694 = $649.45
2. total payments = $649.45 x 360 = $233,802
total interests paid = $233,802 - $130,000 = $103,802
3. Tremaine's loan = $145,000 - $30,000 = $115,000
monthly payment = loan / annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 0.365%, 360 periods = 200.1694
monthly payment = $115,000 / 200.1694 = $574.52
