Answer: $861.44
Explanation:
Given the following :
Purchase price = $195,000
down payment = 20%
Interest rate = 5.25%
Period = 30 years
Down payment = 0.2 × $195,000 = $39,000
Therefore, loan amount will be :
$(195,000 - 39,000) = $156,000
The payment per period (monthly payment) can be calculated using the annuity calculator.
Present value = $156,000
Number of periods = 30yrs = 30× 12 = 360 months
Interest = 5.25% / 12= 0.4375% = 0.004375
Future value = 0 (Amount when entire loan has been paid)
Therefore, the payment per period is $861.44 using the financial calculator.
