B. $884.56
C. $807.81
D. $876.09

Answer 1

I think the answer b

Answer 2

Answer:

B . $ 884.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, monthly payment formula of a loan,

$P=\frac{PV(\frac{r}{12})}{1-(1+\frac{r}{12})^{-12t}}$

Where,

PV = principal value,

r = annual rate of interest,

t = number of years,

Here,

PV = $ 162,000,

r = 5.15% = 0.0515,

t = 30,

Hence, the monthly payment would be,

$P=\frac{162000(\frac{0.0515}{12})}{1-(1+\frac{0.0515}{12})^{-360}}$

$=\ 884.562485827$

$\approx \ 884.56$

OPTION B is correct.
