Imagine you have $50,000 for a house down payment for a $250,000 home. What are the monthly payments on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage of $200,000 assuming your mortgage carries a 5% interest rate. If you pay off the mortgage after thirty years, how much will you have paid in interest beyond the price of the house itself?
Amount financed : Cost -down payment
= 250000-50000
= $ 200000
Part 1 )monthly rate : 5/12 = .41667%
Number of months = 30 *12= 360
Monthly payment = Amount financed /PVA.41667%,360
= 200000/ 186.28045
= 1073.65 per month
**Find present value annuity factor using financial calculator where i= .41667% ,n= 360 ,PMT =1
part 2)Total amount paid over 360 months : 360 *1073.65
= $ 386514
Interest paid = Total amount paid - amount financed
= 386514 -200000
= $ 186514
