You have an annual salary of $48,000 (monthly income $4000) , and the bank is willing to allow your monthly mortgage payment to be equal to 25% of your monthly income. The interest rate on the loan is 7.2% per year with monthly compounding (.6% per month) for a 30-year fixed rate loan. How much money will the bank loan you? How much can you offer for the house?
