A $110,000 mortgage was amortized over 10 years by monthly repayments. The interest rate on the mortgage was fixed at 5.90% compounded semi-annually for the entire period.
a. Calculate the size of the payments rounded up to the next $100.
b. Using the payment from part a., calculate the size of the final payment.
a. Number of monthly payments, n = 10 * 12 = 120
Effective monthly interest rate, r = (1 + 0.0590/2)^(1/6) - 1
r = 0.004857299867
r = 0.4857299867%
Monthly payment rounded up to the next 100 is $1,300
b. The size of the final payment is also equal to $1,211.7877698578
