Part 1

Suppose you take out a 

4040​-year 

​$300 comma 000300,000 

mortgage with an APR of 

66​%. 

You make payments for 

33 

years 

​(3636 

monthly​ payments) and then consider refinancing the original loan. The new loan would have a term of 

2020 

​years, have an APR of 

5.85.8​%, 

and be in the amount of the unpaid balance on the original loan.​ (The amount you borrow on the new loan would be used to pay off the balance on the original​ loan.) The administrative cost of taking out the second loan would be 

​$19001900.

Part 1

a. What are the monthly payments on the original​ loan?

​$enter your response here 

​(Round to the nearest cent as​ needed.)

To calculate the monthly payments for the original loan, we use the formula for calculating monthly mortgage payments:

\[
M = P \times \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1}
\]

Where:
- $ M $ is the monthly payment
- $ P = 300,000 $ is the loan amount
- $ r = \frac{\text{APR}}{12} = \frac{6\%}{12} = 0.005 $ is the monthly interest rate
- $ n = 40 \times 12 = 480 $ is the total number of monthly payments (40 years)

### Step 1: Plug the values into the formula

\[
M = 300,000 \times \frac{0.005(1 + 0.005)^{480}}{(1 + 0.005)^{480} - 1}
\]

Let’s break down the calculation:

1. **$ (1 + 0.005)^{480} $**: This calculates the compounding factor.
2. Multiply that result by $ 0.005 $.
3. Divide by $ (1 + 0.005)^{480} - 1 $.

Once you compute this, you will get the monthly payment amount.

Suppose you take out a 40-year $300,000 mortgage with an APR of 6%. You make payments for 36 years (432 monthly payments) and then consider refinancing the original loan. The new loan would have a term of 20 years, an APR of 5.8%, and be in the amount of the unpaid balance on the original loan. The amount you borrow on the new loan would be used to pay off the balance on the original loan. The administrative cost of taking out the second loan would be $1900. Use the information to complete parts (a) through (e) below.
