You can put this solution on YOUR website! A)mary decides to purchasea house that cost $262,500.00 the bank requires a 10% downpayment and will provide a 15 year mortgage at annual interest rate of 8.0%. Calculate the mortgage loan amount, the monthly payment required to amortize the loan and the total interest paid(assume all the payments are made).use four 4 deciaml places then round dollar values to tthe nearest penny.

 C) What is Marys approximate remaining balance after 59 payments have been made?
 ------------
 After the 10% down payment the mortgaged amount is $236,250
 Formula for monthly regular payment =[Pi]/[1-(1+i)^-N]
 where P=principal borrowed; N=# of payments; i=periodic interest rate
 ---------
 monthly payment=[236,250*.08/12)]/[1-(1+0.08/12)^-(12*15)]
 =[1575]/[0.6976039477]]
 =2257.72
 Total money paid in 15 years= 12*15*2257.72=$406,389.60
 Total interest paid = 406,389.60-236,250=$170,139.60
 ---------
 I haven't figured out the procedure on parts b and c yet.
 I suggest you post this again so others may have a look
 at it while I delve into b and c.
 Cheers,
