3.Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year,fixed-rate home loan of 100,000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent.Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period,the mortgage(抵押) company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first.Thus in the beginning months,Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly.Payment Number | Total Monthly Payment | Principal Portion of Payment | Interest Portion of Payment | Current Balance |
1 | 699.21 | 74.21 | 625.00 | 99,925.79 |
2 | 699.21 | 74.68 | 624.54 | 99,854.11 |
359 | 699.21 | 690.56 | 8.66 | 694.87 |
360 | 699.21 | 694.87 | 4.34 | 0.00 |
By the time Wayne makes his last few payments,his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably.His balance following his 359th payment is 694.87,and 0.625% of that is about 4.34,his final interest payment.What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid?Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals 251,715.60,and subtracting 100,000(the loan amount) leaves 151,715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
