You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man buys a house for $95,000. He makes a $15,000 down payment and amortizes the rest of the debt with monthly payment over the next 15 years. The interest rate on the debt is 12%, compound monthly. Find the size of each payment.
---------------------
loan balance = original amount(1+i)^n - [P/i][(1+i)^n - 1]
-----------
You want loan balance to be 0
original amount = 95000-15000=80000
i=0.12/12=0.01
n=15*12 = 180 payments
P is the monthly payment
------------
0 = 80000(1.01)^180 - [P/0.01][(1.01)^180 -1]
P/0.01 = 479664.158/4.995801975
P/0.01 = 96013.44496
P =$960.13 (this is the monthly payment)
