A home buyer bought a house for $245,000. The buyer paid 20 percent down but decided to finance closing costs of 3 percent of the mortgage amount. If the borrower took out a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a 5 percent annual interest rate, how much interest will the borrower pay over the life of the mortgage

Respuesta :

Answer:

Interest = $188,264.78

Explanation:

given data

present value = $245,000

rate = 20 %

finance closing costs = 3 percent

time = 30 year

fixed rate mortgage = 5 % annual = [tex]\frac{0.05}{12}[/tex] monthly

to find out

interest will the borrower pay

solution

we will apply here present value of annuity formula for find annuity that is

present value annuity  = Annuity ×  [tex]\frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}[/tex]    ..........1

put here value we get

$245,000 × 0.80 × 1.03 = Annuity × [tex]\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{-30*12}}{\frac{0.05}{12}}[/tex]

solve it we get

$201,880 = annuity × [tex]\frac{0.7762}{0.0042}[/tex]

annuity =  $1,083.74

so now we get interest that is

interest = annuity × 360 - present value annuity     ..............2

interest = $1,083.74 × 360 -  ( $245,000 × 0.80 × 1.03 )  

Interest = $188,264.78
