Paul has just purchased a $1.250.000 home and made a $400,000 down payment The balance can be amortized at 3% for 30 years What are the monthly payments? (5 marks) Tay

Answer:

The monthly payment is $3583.63 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total cost of the home = $1,250,000

There is a downpayment of $400,000,

Thus, the present value of the loan, PV =  1250000 - 400,000 = $ 850,000

Annual rate = 3 % = 0.03,

So, the monthly rate, r = [tex]\frac{0.03}{12}=\frac{1}{400}[/tex]

And, time ( in years ) = 30

So, the number of months, n = 12 × 30 = 360

Hence, the monthly payment of the loan,

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

[tex]=\frac{850000(\frac{1}{400})}{1-(1+\frac{1}{400})^{-360}}[/tex]

[tex]=3583.6342867[/tex]

[tex]\approx \$3583.63[/tex]
