A) Find the required monthly payment
B) Find the monthly payment that you would need to make in order to pay off the loan in 20 years.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A)The following formula is used to calculate the fixed monthly payment (P) required to fully amortize a loan of L dollars over a term of n months at a monthly interest rate of c. [If the quoted rate is 6%, for example, c is .06/12 or .005].
P = L[c(1 + c)^n]/[((1 + c)^n)) - 1].
So, we have:
P=216000((.00375*(1+.00375)^360))/((1+.00375)^360)-1)))
P=216000(0.01442886768736313153815180601079/(2.847698049963501743507148269543)
P=216000(0.00506685309825880826287390636924)=$1094.44 as the required monthly payment.
B)Using the same formula as last time, we have:
P=216000((.00375*(1+.00375)^240))/((1+.00375)^360)-1)
P=216000 (0.00632649376219962420615722743331)
P=$1366.52 as the monthly payment.
C)Savings in interest would be:
(1094.44*360)-(1366.53*240)=$66032.96 in savings. ☺☺☺☺
