Answer 1

Ans a) $ 1408.94

b) $ 1175.00

c) $ 272219.74

	P =	Regular Payments
	PV =	Loan Amount
	r =	rate of interest
	n =	no of periods
	P =	r (PV)
		1 - (1 + r )^-n
	P =	(6%/12)*235000
		1 - (1 / (1 + 6%/12)^360))
	P =	1175
		0.833958072
	P =	1408.94
	Beginning Balance	Interest	Principal	Ending Balance
1	235000	1175.00	233.94	233591.06
	Total Interest =	Total Amount paid - Loan
		(1408.94* 360) - 235000
		272219.74
