Joanna earns a gross annual income of $72,456

The value of home is $137,000

She makes 20% down payment of home value.

Down Payment = 20% of $137,000

Amount for down payment = 0.20 x 137000

= $27,400

Amount for loan = Home value - Down Payment

= 137000 - 27400

= $109,600

Financing the rest amount for 25-year at 5% interest.

Monthly Payment for $1000 = $5.846

Monthly Payment for $1 = $0.005846

Monthly Payment for $109,600 = 109600 x 0.005846

= $640.72

(A) The mortgage amount she will borrow is $109,600

(B) Yearly gross income = $27,456

Monthly Gross income = $2,288

Monthly Mortgage Payment = $640.72

As we can see monthly payment is less than monthly income. Therefore, Yes, she can afford the loan.

( C) Monthly Mortgage Payment = $640.72
