Obtain the principle amount repaid during years 7 and 8 of $425000 mortgage when n= 20 and k=8.5%, assuming monthly compounding. (Explain how you get the numbers for P1 AND P2)
Monthly payment is calculated using PMT function in Excel with these inputs :
rate = 8.5% / 12 (converting the annual interest rate into monthly rate)
nper = 20 * 12 (20 year loan * 12 months per year)
pv = -425,000 (mortgage amount)
PMT is calculated to be $3,688.25
Interest in any month = principal outstanding at beginning of month * 8.5% / 12
Principal portion of monthly payment = monthly payment minus interest portion of payment
principal outstanding at end of month = principal outstanding at beginning of month minus principal portion of monthly payment
In this way we calculate the mortgage schedule
Principle amount repaid during years 7 = $707
Principle amount repaid during years 8 = $712
