write variable/ values used and the formula expression needed to
calculate the answer
formula abbreviation such as PVOA
Cost of house = $ 375,000
Down payment = $ 65,000
Loan amount = 375,000 - 65,000 = $ 310,000
Number of years = 30 = 30*12 = 360 periods
Rate, r = 6.5%/12
The formula for PVOA is
So 310,000 = P*( 1-(1+6.5%/12)^-360]/6.5%/12
Solving for P, we get
Monthly payment , P = $ 1,959.41
