To calculate the monthly mortgage payment, we can use the formula for a fixed-rate mortgage:
M = P * r * (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1),
where M is the monthly mortgage payment, P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (which is the annual interest rate divided by 12), and n is the total number of monthly payments.
Given:
Principal loan amount (P) = $200,000
Annual interest rate = 6.5%
Term of mortgage (n) = 20 years = 20 * 12 = 240 months
First, let's calculate the monthly interest rate:
Monthly interest rate (r) = 6.5% / 12 = 0.065 / 12 = 0.0054167
Now, calculate the monthly mortgage payment:
M = $200,000 * 0.0054167 * (1 + 0.0054167)^240 / ((1 + 0.0054167)^240 - 1)
M ≈ $1,264
Therefore, the monthly mortgage payment is approximately $1,264.

a) Monthly mortgage payment (principal and interest)
