The price of a condominium is
$103,000.
The bank requires a 5% down payment and one point at the time of closing. The cost of the condominium is financed with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 8.5%.
Use the following formula to determine the regular payment amount.
a. Find the required down payment.
$
b. Find the amount of the mortgage.
$
c. How much must be paid for the one point at closing?
$
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
d. Find the monthly payment (excluding escrowed taxes and insurance).
$
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
e. Find the total cost of interest over 30 years.

a) The required down payment is = $(103000*5%) = $(103000*5/100) = $5150.
b) The amount of the mortgage is = $(103000-5150) = $97850.
c) The amount must be paid for the one point at closing is =
$(97850*1%) = $(97850*1/100) = $978.5
$979.
d) Here, present value : PV = $97850
And, interest rate per period : r = [8.50-(2*0.25)]%/12 = 8%/12 = 0.08/12
And, time : n = (30*12) months = 360 months.
If P be the monthly payment, then we have,
i.e.,
i.e.,
Therefore, the monthly payment is $718.
e) The total cost of interest over 30 years is = $[(718*360)-97850] = $[258480-97850] = $160630.
