Find the monthly payment.


Mortgage amount Annual percentage rate

2. $146,800 5.25% 30 years

4. $113,400 5% 15 years

6. Find the interest paid the mortgage in exercise 2.

8. Find the total interest paid for the mortgage in exercise 4.

P = (Po*r*t)/(1-(1+r)^-t)

2. Po = $146,800

r = (5.25%/12)/100% = 0.004375 = Monthly
% rate.

t = 30yrs. * 12mo./yr. = 360 Months.

Plug the above values into the given Eq
and get: P = $291,828.61

Monthly Payment = P/t

4. Same procedure as #2.

6. I = P-Po

8. I = P-Po

To calculate the monthly payment for a mortgage, you can use the formula for calculating the monthly payment for a fixed-rate mortgage. The formula is:

P = (Pv * r) / (1 - (1 + r)^-n),

where:
P: Monthly payment
Pv: Present value (mortgage amount)
r: Monthly interest rate (annual percentage rate divided by 12)
n: Total number of monthly payments (number of years multiplied by 12)

Let's calculate the monthly payment for exercise 2:

1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate:
r = 5.25% / 100 / 12 = 0.004375.

2. Convert the number of years to the total number of monthly payments:
n = 30 years * 12 = 360.

3. Substitute the values into the formula:
P = (146,800 * 0.004375) / (1 - (1 + 0.004375)^-360).
P = $827.09.

Therefore, the monthly payment for exercise 2 is $827.09.

Now, let's calculate the monthly payment for exercise 4:

1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate:
r = 5% / 100 / 12 = 0.004167.

2. Convert the number of years to the total number of monthly payments:
n = 15 years * 12 = 180.

3. Substitute the values into the formula:
P = (113,400 * 0.004167) / (1 - (1 + 0.004167)^-180).
P = $894.73.

Therefore, the monthly payment for exercise 4 is $894.73.

To find the interest paid on a mortgage, you can calculate the total interest amount paid over the life of the mortgage.

For exercise 2:
1. Calculate the total payment over the life of the mortgage:
Total payments = Monthly payment * Total number of payments.
Total payments = $827.09 * 360.
Total payments = $297,752.40.

2. Calculate the total interest paid:
Total interest = Total payments - Mortgage amount.
Total interest = $297,752.40 - $146,800.
Total interest = $150,952.40.

Therefore, the interest paid for the mortgage in exercise 2 is $150,952.40.

For exercise 4:
1. Calculate the total payment over the life of the mortgage:
Total payments = Monthly payment * Total number of payments.
Total payments = $894.73 * 180.
Total payments = $160,851.40.

2. Calculate the total interest paid:
Total interest = Total payments - Mortgage amount.
Total interest = $160,851.40 - $113,400.
Total interest = $47,451.40.

Therefore, the total interest paid for the mortgage in exercise 4 is $47,451.40.
