Suppose you are buying your first condo for $145,000, and you will make a $15,000 down payment. You have arranged to finance the remainder with a 30-year, monthly payment, amortized mortgage at a 6.5% nominal interest rate, with the first payment due in one month.
What will your monthly payments be? a. $741.57 b. $780.60 c. $821.69 d. $862.77 e. $905.91
Record all functions necessary to solve the problem with a financial calculator. (Why is "C" the correct answer?)
Information provided:
Price of the condo= $145,000
Down payment= $15,000
Mortgage= $145,000- $15,000 = $130,000
Time= 30 years*12= 360 months
Interest rate= 6.5%/12= 0.5417% per month
The monthly payment is computed by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PV= -130,000
N= 360
I/Y= 0.5417
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the monthly payment.
The value obtained is 821.69.
Therefore, the amount of monthly payment is $821.69.
Hence, the answer is option c.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
