1.Purchase amount = $143,000

Down payment = 20%*143,000 = $28,600

Loan amount = 143,000 - 28,600 = $114,400

Means loan amount of 114,400 is taken at interest rate of 5.25% compounded monthly, to be amortized in 30 years in equal monthly instalments.

As per the information and data given in the question, we get as follows:

Instalment Payment Every Month(PMT) = $631.72 (Principal + Interest)

Payment in a year(12 instalments) = 12*631.72 = $7580.64

Total instalment (12*30=360) Payments = 360*631.72 = $227,419.57 (Grand total paid)

Total Interest = 227,419.57 - 114,400 = $113,019.57 (Total Interest Paid)

Part b)

The remaining balance is $114,400.00. By paying extra $50.00 per month, the loan will be paid off in 25 years and 4 months. It is 4 years and 8 months earlier. This results in savings of $20,518.94 in interest.

If Pay Extra $50.00 per month

Monthly Pay $681.72
Total Payments $206,900.63
Total Interest $92,500.63


The Original Payoff Schedule was :

Monthly Pay $631.72
Total Payments $227,419.57
Total Interest $113,019.57
