Answer 1

a. $39,400

b. $157,600

c. $6,304

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Down payment

Bank requires 20% down payment

= 20% * 197,000

= $39,400

b. Mortgage amount

= Price of house - down payment

= 197,000 - 39,400

= $157,600

c. Amount at 4 points:

= Mortgage * 4%

= 157,600 * 4%

= $6,304
