Answer 2

$1486.41.

Explanation:

Purchase price = $309,900

Down payment percent = 20 %

Remaining amount Percentage = 100-20 = 80%

Mortgage amount =
`309900 * 0.80`

=
`247920`

Formula of monthly payment :
`P =\frac{\frac{rM}{1 -(1 +(r)/(n))^-{nt}}}{n}`

where P = the payment,

r = the annual rate =6% = 0.06

M = the mortgage amount = $247920

t = the number of years=30

n = the number of payments per year= 12

Substitute the values.

`P =\frac{\frac{0.06 * 247920}{1 -(1 +(0.06)/(12))^-{12* 30}}}{12}`

`P=1486.40566196`

Hence the monthly payment is $1486.41.

Thus Option C is correct.
