11 Example 2 Carol and Adam Burke have applied for an $80, mortgage loan at an annual interest rate of 8.00 percent. The loan is for a period of 30 years and will be paid in equal monthly payments that include interest. (Use the Monthly Payment for a $1,000 Loan table on page 799 of your textbook.) What is the total amount of interest charged?

12 Example 2 Answer: Step 1: Find the monthly payment. Amount of Mortgage Monthly Payment $1,000 for a $1,000 Loan $80, $7.34 = $ $1, Step 2: Find the amount paid. Monthly Payment Number of Payments $ (12 months 30 years) $ = $211,392.00

13 Example 2 Answer: Step 3: Find the total interest charged. Amount Paid Amount of Mortgage $211, $80, = $131,392.00

14 Practice (Use the Monthly Payment for a $1,000 Loan table on page 799 of your textbook.) Selling price: $276,000. Down payment: 25 percent. Terms: 8 percent for 15 years. What is the total interest charged? $149,205.60

17 Example 3 Trudy and Germane Hallett have been granted a mortgage loan at an annual interest rate of 8 percent for 25 years by State Bank. The home has a selling price of $95,500. They need a 15 percent down payment. State Bank will allow them to finance the closing costs as part of the mortgage. What are the total closing costs? What is actual amount financed with the mortgage? Step 1: Find the down payment. $95,500 15% = $14,325 Step 2: Find the amount of the mortgage. $95,500 $14,325 = $81,175 Step 3: Find the closing costs (see table) Step 4: Actual Amount Financed = Amount of Mortgage + Closing Costs $81,175 + $3, = $84,369.96

18 Practice Joseph and Marla Liebowitz have agreed to purchase a house for $362,000. They made a down payment of 30 percent and are financing the remaining amount.

Monthly Payment Interest $ $ = $53.87 Step 3: Find the new principal. Previous Balance Payment to Principal $80, $53.87 = $79,946.13

21 Example 5 The amount of principal that you owe decreases with each payment that you make. The figure below shows the interest and principal paid for payment numbers 325, 326, and 327 on an original $80,000 mortgage loan. For payment number 328, what is the interest? What is the payment to principal? What is the new principal?

22 Example 5 Answer: Step 1: Find the interest. Principal Rate Time $17, % 1/12 = $ Step 2: Find the payment to principal. Monthly Payment Interest $ $ = $ Step 3: Find the new principal. Previous Balance Payment to Principal $17, $ = $16,644.06
