Answer:
1. Calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year mortgage loan.
we can do this by using the present value of an annuity formula
the loan's interest rate is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found that it is 6%
present value = monthly payment x annuity factor
monthly payment = present value / annuity factor
- present value = $200,000 (loan's principal)
- PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 360 periods = 166.79161
monthly payment = $200,000 / 166.79161 = $1,199.101082 ≈ <u>$1,199.10</u>
2. Calculate the amount of interest that you’d pay for a 30-year mortgage loan.
total interests paid during the 30 years = (monthly payment x 360) - principal = ($1,199.10 x 360) - $200,000 = <u>$231,676</u>
I would think Interest rates
