Question 322872: Gene purchased a condo for 90,000. He made a 15% down payment and assumed a 9% morgage for 20 years. Find the monthly payment and the finance charge Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Condo price $ 90,000
15% down payment = 13500
Balance to be paid = 90000-14500=75500
The formula for monthly payment
C=Po[r(1+r)^n / (1+r)^n-1]
Po=76500
r=9% ( 0.09/12)=0.0075
n=20 years = 240 months
..
(1+r)^n= (1+0.0075)^240=6.009
..
r(1+r)^n=0.0075*6.009=0.0450
..
(1+r)^n-1= 6.009-1= 5.009
..
r(1+r)^n/(1+r)^n-1 = 0.0450/5.009=0.00898
--
Po*0.00989=76500*0.00989= 687.26 per month
