A:
Answer:(a) $ 1,676.21(b) $ 402,289.22(c) $ 206,289.22Step-by-step explanation:Given,The present amount of the loan, PV = $ 196,000Time = 20 years,So, the number of months, n = 12 Γ— 20 = 240Also, the annual rate = 8.30 % = 0.083,So, the monthly rate, r = [tex]\frac{0.083}{12}[/tex](a) Hence, the mortgage payment or monthly payment,[tex]P=\frac{(PV)r}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}[/tex][tex]P=\frac{196000(\frac{0.083}{12})}{1-(1+\frac{0.083}{12})^{-240}}[/tex][tex]=\$ 1676.20508437[/tex][tex]\approx \$ 1676.21[/tex](b) The total payment = monthly payment Γ— number of periods= 402289.220249β‰ˆ $ 402,289.22(c) Interest paid = total payment - present value of loan= 402289.22 - 196,000= $ 206,289.22
