Brian Burkhardt is planning to purchase a home and expects to borrow $241,161 to mortgage the purchase, Given a 30-year mortgage has a rate of 0.0367, the monthly payment Brian can expect to pay is:
Present Value = $241,161
Total number of years = 30
rate of interest = 3.67%
Let X be the monthly payment.
Monthly rate of interest = (1 + i)^(1/12) -1
where power is 1/12 because the payments are monthly.
So,
(1 + i)^(1/12) -1
=(1 + 0.0367)^(1/12) -1
=0.0030080
Monthly rate of interest = 0.3008%
Therefore, X = $1097.7286
