You graduate from a college and find a good paying job

Finance Dec 05, 2020

You graduate from a college and find a good paying job. You decide that you want to buy a house. There is a house you like which is selling for $150,000 now.  Suppose you pay 20% down and you qualify for a 3% APR, 20-year mortgage paid at the end of each month.  How much would be your monthly payment? (rounded to the nearest dollar)?

Expert Solution

Computation of Monthly Payment using PMT Function in Excel:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

Here,

PMT = Monthly Payment = ?

Rate = 3%/12 = 0.25% compounded monthly

Nper = 20 years * 12 months = 360 months

PV = $150,000*(1-20%) = $120,000

FV = 0

Substituting the values in formula:

=pmt(0.25%,360,-120000,0)

PMT or Monthly Payment = $505.92 or $506
