The value of d = $1088.63
fixed monthly payments made = $372

Given that :

Present value ( PV ) $200,000

Period = 25 years

Total period ( n ) = 25 * 12 = 300

also PMT is done monthly

∴ monthly interest rate = ( 716.67 / 200,000 ) * 100 = 0.358% ( r )

i) Next step : Calculate the value of PMT

using the equation below

$PMT = [\frac{PV}{\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} } ]$ where : PV = $200,000, r = 0.358% , n = 300

input values into equation

∴ d = PMT = $1088.63

ii) Fixed monthly payments

= d - 716.67

= 1088.63 - 716.67 = $372
