Explanation / Answer

a. Calculate the monthly payment for each loan individually.

The monthly payment of the $13,000 loan is

EMI =  [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1] = [13000 * (0.085/1200) * (1 + 0.085/1200)180]/ [(1 + 0.085/1200)180 -1]

EMI = $ 128.02

The monthly payment of the $13,000 loan is ; APR = 8.5% , Time = 15 years

EMI =  [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1] = [13000 * (0.085/1200) * (1 + 0.085/1200)180]/ [(1 + 0.085/1200)180 -1]

EMI = $ 128.02

Total payments = $ 128.02 * 180 = $ 23043.60

The monthly payment of the $15,000 loan is ; APR =9% , Time = 20 years

EMI =  [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1] = [15000 * (0.09/1200) * (1 + 0.09/1200)240]/ [(1 + 0.09/1200)240 -1]

EMI = $ 134.96

Total payments = $ 134.96 * 240 = $ 32390.4

The monthly payment of the $14,500 loan is ; APR = 10% , Time = 10 years

EMI =  [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1] = [14500 * (0.10/1200) * (1 + 0.10/1200)120]/ [(1 + 0.10/1200)120 -1]

EMI = $ 191.62

Total payments = $ 191.62 * 120 = $ 22994.4

Total paymets of three loans = $ 23043.60 + $ 32390.40 + $ 22994.40 = $ 78428.40

c. Total loan amount in this case = $ 13000 + $ 14500 + $ 15000 = $ 42500

Loan term = 20 years = 240 months

APR = 9%

Monthly payment =  [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1] = [42500 * (0.09/1200) * (1 + 0.09/1200)240]/ [(1 + 0.09/1200)240 -1] = $ 382.38

Total payments over the 20 years = $ 382.38 * 240 = $ 91771.20
