Expert Solution

Ans c. $271,510

P =	Regular Payments
PV =	Loan Amount
r =	rate of interest
n =	no of periods

P =	r (PV)
	1 - (1 + r )^-n

1500 =	(3%/12)*PV
	1 - (1 / (1 + 3%/12)^180))

1500 =	0.0025 * PV
	0.362013678642485

PV =	1500 / 0.0025 * 0.362013678642485

PV =	217208.21

Total Cost =	Loan / (1 - Downpayment)
	217208.21/ (1 - 20%)
	271510
