P = Po(1+r)^n
Po = 0.85 * 275,000 = $233,750
r = (2.9%/2)/100% = 0.0145 = Semi-APR
expressed as a decimal.
n = 2comp/yr * 25yr = 50 Compounding
periods.
a. P = 233,750(1.0145)^50 = 480,124.85.
480,124.50/50 = $9,602.50 Semi-annually.
0r 480,124.85/300mo = $1600.42 Monthly.
b. Int. = 480,124.85 - 233,750 = 246,374.85
