Information provided:
Price of the home= $100,000
Amount available to make down payment= $15,000
Amount of loan to purchase the house= $100,000 - $15,000= 85,000
Time= 30 years*12= 360 months
Interest rate= 6.5%/12= 0.5417% per month
The monthly payment is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PV= -85,000
N= 360
I/Y= 0.5417
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the monthly payment.
The value obtained is $537.26.
Therefore, the amount of monthly payment is $537.26 and the answer is option d.
