Answer 2

Answer:

The monthly payment for the loan is $1892 and the total interest paid is $ 534,579.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the toal loan payment TP is:

TP = L*(1+ARP)^n

Where is the periods of time and L the mortgage loan:

I = $ 146,800.000 * (1+0.0525)^30  = 146,800.000 $ * 4.641 = $ 681379.700  

By subtracting the borrow money, we find the total interest paid TI:

TI = TP- L =  $ 681,379.700 - $ 146,800.000  = $ 534,579.7

Then the monthly payment is obtaining by dividing the total payment by the amount of mounth in 30 years:

PM = $ 681379.700 / (30*12 months) =  $ 681379.700 / 360 months)

PM = $ 1892
