You are buying a house and the mortgage company offers to let you pay a "point" (1.0 % of the total amount of the loan) to reduce your APR from 6.50 % to 6.25 % on your $ 400000, 30-year mortgage with monthly payments. If you plan to be in the house for at least five years, should you do it? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.)
