You’ve decided to buy a house that is valued at $1 million. you have $350,000 to use as a down payment on the house, and want to take out a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price. your bank has approved your $650,000 mortgage, and is offering a standard 30-year mortgage at a 10% fixed nominal interest rate (called the loan’s annual percentage rate or apr). under this loan proposal, your mortgage payment will be per month

(a) $7,130.03
(b) $8,841.23
(c) $5,704.02
(d) $7,700.43

Correct option is (C)

Explanation:

Given:

Mortgage amount (PV) = $650,000

APR = 10%

Per month interest rate (rate) = 10% ÷ 12 = 0.8333% or 0.008333

Mortgage period (nper) = 30 years or 30×12 = 360 months

Monthly payment can be calculated using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV)

Monthly payment is computed as $5,704.02

PMT is negative as it is a cash outflow.

P = $5704.02  i.e. correct option is C

Explanation:

given data:

Period of mortgage 30 year = ( 30* 12 = 360 month)

Loan of $650,000 for 30 year is approved by bank

Annual interest rate is 10% so, monthly rate is (10%/12 = 0.833)

monthly mortgage is calculated as

substitute value to obtain montly payment

P = $5704.02

the answer is a.
