The question also posted on the homework help site and mathematical forums, but the answer was never received. Stuck specifically... To purchase studio space, on April 3, 2025 a pianist takes out a 30-year loan of \$120,000 at an annual interest rate of 11%. The first monthly payment is to be made on May 3, 2025; the final payment is scheduled to be made April 3, 2055. The monthly payment is \$1,142.79. [Note: If you use the table, you’ll get that the monthly payment is \$1,142.40, but the table produces an approximation. \$1,142.79 is the precise payment. a) Calculate the total interest charged over the course of the loan, assuming that nothing but the standard payment is made each month. b) How much will she owe immediately after making the payment on June 3, 2025? (= the second payment) Round appropriately to the nearest penny. c) Suppose that as part of that June 3, 2025 payment she pays an extra \$300 as an overpayment. Calculate the dollar amount of interest which this saves in the future. Round your answer down to the nearest \$10. Last edited by skipjack; April 4th, 2018 at 01:47 PM.

How is the interest calculated?

Part c) 300 * (1 + .11/12)^358 - 300 = ?  April 5th, 2018, 01:10 AM #4 Newbie Joined: Apr 2018 From: New Jersey Posts: 2 Thanks: 1 I recently saw this issue .... Actually, I think the answer will be this: Here is an amortization schedule of your loan. All the info you need is there. Look at top right-hand corner and you will see total payments, total interest, monthly payment.....etc. If you paid \$300 off the principal after the 2nd payment, that means you will save interest on it for 358 months. So, \$300 x 1.009166667^358 =\$7,867.53 - \$300 =\$7,567.53 - this is the amount of interest you will have saved on a \\$300 payment over the remaining 358 months.

 April 5th, 2018, 02:37 AM #7 Global Moderator   Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 20,809 Thanks: 2150 If all the repayments (including the final one) are equal, the interest rate isn't precisely 11%. Also, assumptions need to be made as to whether interest is rounded, etc.
