Explanation

Given Information:

Phil Pittman is interest in a fixed rate mortgage for $100000. The current mortgage rate is 5.5% for the 15 year mortgage and 6.5% for the 30 year mortgage. Formula used: The following steps are used to find the monthly mortgage payment by using an amortization table: Step-1 Find the number of$1,000s financed.

Number of $1,000s financed=Amount finanaced1,000 Step-2 Using Table 14-1, locate the table factor, monthly payment per$1,000s financed, at the intersection of the number-of –year column and thee interest rate row.

Step-3 Calculate the monthly payment.

Monthlypayment=TableFactor×No Of 1000's inthePrinciple

Calculation:

The amount of monthly payment is $100000 Now calculate the number of$1,000s amount of financed $100000 Substitute,$100000 for Amount finanaced in above relation,

Number of $1,000s financed=$1000001,000=100

The number of $1,000s is 100 (b) To determine To calculate: The total amount of interest paid on each loan if Phil Pittman is interest in a fixed rate mortgage for$100000 at current, rate is 5.5% for the 15 year mortgage and current rate is 6.5% for the 30 year mortgage.

(c)

To determine

To calculate: The more amount of interest paid by choosing the 30 year mortgage than the 15 year mortgage
