Answer:
a. $3,455.20
Explanation:
The monthly payment is given by the amortization formula:
A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))
for loan amount P at annual rate r for t years.
For this mortgage, we use P = $530,000, r = 0.068, t = 30.
A = $530,000(0.068/12)/(1 -(1 +0.068/12)^(-360)) ≈ $3,455.20
The monthly payment is $3,455.20.
