Michael obtains a 30/8 balloon mortgage to finance $425,500 at 6.55%. how much principal and interest will he have already paid when his balloon payment is due?

$259 532  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the monthly payments on a 30-year loan.

The formula for the monthly payment (P) on a loan of A dollars that is paid back in equal monthly payments over n months, at an annual interest rate

of r % is

Data:

We must express the interest rate on a monthly basis.

i = 6.55 %/yr = 0.545 83 %/mo = 0.005 4583

A = $425 500

n = 360 mo

Calculation:

P = $2703.46

B. Total Payment (T) after 8 years

T = nP

T = 96 × 2703.46

T = $259 532

Michael will have paid $259 532 at the end of eight years.
