Explanation:

Answer 2

$38250

Explanation:

Given data

P= $340,000

t= 30-year,

r1= 6.475%

r2= 6.85%

For r1

A= P(1+rt)

A= 340,000(1+0.06475*30)

A= 340,000(1+1.9425)

A= 340,000*2.9425

A= $1000450

For r2

A= P(1+rt)

A= 340,000(1+0.0685*30)

A= 340,000(1+2.055)

A= 340,000*3.055

A= $1038700

The difference is '

= 1038700-1000450

=$38250
