Answer:
Therefore, Roberto will pay a total of $593,654 for his $340,000 house, including $253,654 in interest over the 30-year period.
Explanation:
Roberto paid 20% down on a $340,000 house, which is 0.20 x $340,000 = $68,000.
So, the amount he financed is $340,000 - $68,000 = $272,000.
Roberto financed the $272,000 at 5% interest for 30 years, making monthly payments of $1460.15.
To find the total amount he will pay for the house, we need to calculate the total amount he will pay over the 30-year period.
First, we can calculate the total number of payments he will make over the 30 years by multiplying the number of years by the number of payments per year:
30 years x 12 months/year = 360 payments
The total amount Roberto will pay is the sum of all the monthly payments he makes over the 30 years:
Total amount = 360 x $1460.15 = $525,654
However, this includes both the principal amount of $272,000 and the interest he will pay over the 30 years. To find out how much he will pay in interest, we can subtract the principal from the total amount:
Total interest = $525,654 - $272,000 = $253,654
Therefore, Roberto will pay a total of $593,654 for his $340,000 house, including $253,654 in interest over the 30-year period.
