The new loan has 3.9% APR interest rate (compounded monthly) and it requires you to make a monthly payment for the next 30 years. What is your monthly payment under this new loan? Please show your excel formula in your answer and explain step-by-step calculation to arrive to your answer.
PV = 280,000
rate = 3.9%/12 = 0.00325
n = 30 * 12 = 360
Monthly payment = PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type])
Monthly payment = PMT(0.00325, 360, 280,000)
Ignore [fv] and [type] as they are optional
Monthly payment = $1,320.670972
