Explanation / Answer

Cost of House = $290,000

Amount borrowed = 80% * $290,000
Amount borrowed = $232,000

30-year Mortgage:

Amount borrowed = $232,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.60%
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.633%

Period of Loan = 30 years or 360 months

Monthly Payment * PVIFA(0.633%, 360) = $232,000
Monthly Payment * (1 - (1/1.00633)^360) / 0.00633 = $232,000
Monthly Payment * 141.68323 = $232,000
Monthly Payment = $1,637.46

Total Amount paid = $1,637.46 * 360
Total Amount paid = $589,485.60

Total Interest paid = $589,485.60 - $232,000
Total Amount paid = $357,485.60

15-year Mortgage:

Amount borrowed = $232,000

Annual Interest Rate = 6.60%
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.55%

Period of Loan = 15 years or 180 months

Monthly Payment * PVIFA(0.55%, 180) = $232,000
Monthly Payment * (1 - (1/1.0055)^180) / 0.0055 = $232,000
Monthly Payment * 114.07528 = $232,000
Monthly Payment = $2,033.74

Total Amount paid = $2,033.74 * 180
Total Amount paid = $366,073.20

Total Interest paid = $366,073.20 - $232,000
Total Amount paid = $134,073.20

Answer a.

Difference in interest paid = $357,485.60 - $134,073.20
Difference in interest paid = $223,412.40

Answer b.

Difference in monthly payment = $2,033.74 - $1,637.46
Difference in monthly payment = $396.28
