Susan Carver will purchase a home for $160,000. She will use a down payment of 20% and finance the remaining portion at 8.4%, compounded monthly for 15 years. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a) What will be the monthly payment?
(b) How much will remain on the loan after making payments for 8 years?
c) What is the total amount paid over the course of 15 years?
Information provided:
Cost of the house= $160,000
Down payment= 0.20* $160,000= $32,000
Mortgage= present value= $160,000 - $32,000= $128,000
Time= 15 years*12= 180 months
Monthly interest rate= 8.4%/12= 0.70%
a.The monthly mortgage payment is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PV= -128,000
N= 180
I/Y= 0.70
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the monthly mortgage payment.
The value obtained is 1,252.97.
Therefore, the monthly mortgage payment is $1,252.97.
b.Amount remining on the loan after making payments for 8 years:
= $128,000 - ($1,252.97*8*12)
= $128,000 - 120,285
= $7,714.88.
c.Total amount paid over the course of 15 years:
= $1,252.97*180
= $225,534.60.
