What is the difference between the (a) interest portion of that payment, (b) tax deduction for interest, and (c) principal balance? Finally, how much is in the investment account? (a) How long does it take to repay the entire loan under the prepayment option? (b) What is the total interest paid over the life of the loan? Compare the total interest paid under each scenario? How much less in interest do you pay under the prepayment option?
