You take out a 25-year mortgage for $300,000 to buy a new house. What will your monthly payments be if the interest rate on your mortgage is 8 percent? Now, calculate the portion of the 48th monthly payment that goes toward interest and principal.
Complete the steps below using cell references to given data or previous calculations. In some cases, a simple cell reference is all you need. To copy/paste a formula across a row or down a column, an absolute cell reference or a mixed cell reference may be preferred. If a specific Excel function is to be used, the directions will specify the use of that function. Do not type in numerical data into a cell or function. Instead, make a reference to the cell in which the data is found. Make your computations only in the green cells highlighted below. In all cases, unless otherwise directed, use the earliest appearance of the data in your formulas, usually the Given Data section.
