Question

Joe Chin bought a house for $180,000. He made a 20% down payment. Joe secured a loan for the balance of the purchase price at 6.5% interest for 15 years. What will be the monthly payments on the loan? (do not use commas or dollar signs in your answer)

Answer 1

the monthly payment is $910.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the monthly payment is shown below:

Given that

PV = $180,000 - 20% of $180,000 = $144,000

NPER = 15 × 120 = 360

RATE = 6.5% ÷ 12 = 0.541666%

FV = $0

The formula is shown below:

=PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;FV:TYPE)

The present values comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $910.18
