Answer: $387.23

Explanation:

Given that,

Borrowed from bank, P = $50,000

Annual interest rate, r = 8% = 0.08

Monthly rate of interest = [tex]\frac{0.08}{12}[/tex]

                                       = 0.0067

Tenure(period), n = 25 years = 25 × 12

                                                = 300 months

[tex]Monthly\ Installments=\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^{n}}{[(1+r)^{n}-1]}[/tex]

[tex]Monthly\ Installments=\frac{50,000\times 0.0067\times (1+0.0067)^{300}}{[(1+0.0067)^{300}-1]}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{50,000\times0.0067\times7.413453}{7.413453-1}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{2,483.50676}{6.413453}[/tex]

      = 387.23

Therefore, the required monthly payment is $387.23
