You purchase a cottage for $170,000. You obtain a 20-year, fixed rate mortgage loan at 12.0% after paying a down payment of 20%. Of the second month's mortgage payment, how much is interest and how much is applied to the principal? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
interest = $
applied to the principal = $
first we have to compute the monthly payment | ||||||
put in calculator | ||||||
FV | 0 | |||||
PV | =-170000*80% | -136000 | ||||
I | 12%/12 | 1% | ||||
N | 20*12 | 240 | ||||
Compute PMt | $1,497.48 | |||||
Now we have to prepare 2 period amortization table | ||||||
period | Beginning value | EMI | Interest | Principal | Ending balance | |
1 | 136,000.00 | 1,497.48 | 1,360.00 | 137.48 | 135,862.52 | |
2 | 135,862.52 | 1,497.48 | 1,358.63 | 138.85 | 135,723.67 | |
Therefore, | ||||||
Interest = | $ 1,358.63 | |||||
Principal = | $ 138.85 | |||||
