Under this mortgage contract, what will be Peifan's payment in the first month of the loan? State your answer as a number rounded to the nearest cent (e.g. if your answer is $1,000.568, write 1000.57).

Answer 1

- Property Value = $514,776

Loan to Value(LTV) ratio = 0.9

Loan amount = LTV*Property Value = $514,776*0.9

Loan amount =$463,298.40

- Peifan is taking an Interest Only loan, Peifan will only pay Interest on monthly payment iwth principal remain unchanged.

Monthly Payment = Loan amount*Interest Rate*1/12

Monthly Payment = $463,298.40*3%*1/12

Monthly Payment = $1158.25

So, Peifan's payment in the first month of the loan is $1158.25
