Edward signs a 30 year mortgage at 3.5% compounded monthly. The price of his house is $200,000. He makes a down payment of 40,000. Answer the following:
1-What will be his monthly payments?
2-After 5 years, he makes a one-time payment of $50,000 (against the remaining principle). How many months will he have remaining on his mortgage? To avoid any confusion, he will have exactly 25 years remaining before he makes the $50,000 in payment.
3-Edwards decides that instead of reducing the NPER after making the $50,000, he requests the bank to keep the NPER to 25 years and reduce his monthly payment instead. What will be his monthly payment going forward?
