9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The down payment is 9.5% of the price, so is ...

  down = 0.095×$214,000 = $20,330

__

b) The amount of the loan is the remaining value after the down payment is made:

  $214,000 -20,330 = $193,670

__

c) The monthly payment is given by the amortization formula:

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

payment on Principal P at interest rate r for t years

  A = $193,670(0.0115/12)/(1 -(1 +0.0115/12)^(-12·35)) ≈ $560.35

__

d) The total cost of the house is ...

  down + (monthly payment)×(number of months)

  = $20,330 + $560.35×420

  = $255,677
