Answer: $399,060

Explanation:

From the question,

The balloon mortgage= 7/23

The initial payments= $915

The time= 30 year

The new payment= $895

We are aware that 7/23 is that the loan has fixed rate for first 7 years.

Therefore, the initial payments for the 7 years will be:

Th initial payment = 7 × 12 × 915

The initial payment = $76860

The payments for 30 years when she refinance her balloon will be:

= 30 × 12 × 895

= $322200

Therefore, the total financed cost paid for the house will be:

= $76860 + $322200

= $399,060
