Answer:    $189,383.96

========================================================

Explanation:

  • r = 0.02 = decimal form of 2% annual interest
  • i = monthly interest rate
  • i = r/12 = 0.02/12 = (2/100)/12 = 1/600.
  • n = number of months = 12*30 = 360
  • P = monthly payment = 700

We'll plug those items into the formula below.

L = loan amount

L = P*( (1+i)^n - 1)/( i*(1+i)^n )

L = 700*( (1+1/600)^360 - 1 )/( 1/600*(1+1/600)^360 )

L = 189,383.961539639

L = 189,383.96

The couple can afford to borrow at most $189,383.96
