Question

Daniel and Jan agreed to pay $558,000 for a four-bedroom colonial home in Waltham, Massachusetts, with a $50,000 down payment. They have a 30-year mortgage at a fixed rate of 6.00%. (Use Table 15.1) a. How much is their monthly payment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) Monthly payment $ b. After the first payment, what would be the balance of the principal? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.) Payment number Portion to— Balance of loan outstanding Interest Principal 1 $ $ $

Explanation / Answer

The mortage loan payment = Total Pric e- Down payment

P = $ 5,58,000 - $ 50000

P = $ 5,08,000

Time period t= 30 year = 30 * 12 = 360 months

Rate R = 6.00% = 6/1200 pr month

THe monthly EMI payment

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1]

MOnthly payment EMI = [508000 * (6/1200) * (1 + 6/1200)360] / [(1 + 6/1200)360 -1]

EMI = 15297.34/ 5.022575 = $ 3045.72

Here interest portion I = 508000 * (1 + 6/1200) - 508000 = $ 2540

Outstanding principal = $ 508000 - [ $ 3045.72 - $ 2540] =  $ 507494.28
