In terms of paying less in interest, which is more economical for a $$ 90,000\( mortgage: a 30 -year fixed-rate at \)8 \%\( or a 15 -year fixed-rate at \)7.5 \%$ ? How much is saved in interest?
In Exercises 1-10, use $$ P M T=\frac{P\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)}{\left[1-\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-n t}\right]} $$ Round answers to the nearest dollar. Suppose that you decide to borrow \(\$ 40,000\) for a new car. You can select one of the following loans, each requiring regular monthly payments: Installment Loan A: three-year loan at \(6.1 \%\) Installment Loan B: five-year loan at \(7.2 \%\). a. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for \(\operatorname{Loan} A\). b. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for Loan B. c. Compare the monthly payments and the total interest for the two loans.
Solve for \(P\) : $$ A=\frac{P\left[\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}-1\right]}{\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)} . $$ What does the resulting formula describe?
Suppose your credit card has a balance of \(\$ 3600\) and an annual interest rate of \(16.5 \%\). You decide to pay off the balance over two years. If there are no further purchases charged to the card, a. How much must you pay each month? b. How much total interest will you pay?
Describe how to determine what you can afford for your monthly mortgage payment.
