Expert Solution

Purchase price =  $1,630,000
Cash paid = 20% of purchase price
=  $1,630,000 * 20%
= $326,000

Therefore,
Mortgage = Purchase price - cash paid
= $1,630,000 -  $326,000
= $1,304,000

We can use the present value of annuity formula, to find the answer:

Where,
PVA = Present Value of Annuity
A = Annuity or Payment
i = rate of interest in decimal form
n = number of years
a = number of payments per year
na = total number of payments

When payments are semi-monthly, there will be 2 payments in a month and 24 payments in a year. Therefore, a = 24

Now substituting the values in the formula, we get:

Therefore, the answer is C. $8162.02
