Answer:
$12,086
Explanation:
Mortgage installment payment includes the payment of interest on the outstanding balance of mortgage and Principal Payment. Principal payment is calculated by deducting the interest payment from total installment payment. Gradually the interest payment decreases as the outstanding balance of mortgage decreases and Principal payment increases.
First Payment
Installment = 21,139
Interest Payment = $80,000 x 15% = 12,000
principal Payment = $21,139 - 12000 = $9,139
Closing Balance of Mortgage = $80,000 - $9,139 = $70,861
Second Payment
Installment = 21,139
Interest Payment = $70,861 x 15% = $10,629
principal Payment = $21,139 - $10,629 = $10,510
Closing Balance of Mortgage = $70,861 - $10,510 = $60,351
Third Payment
Installment = 21,139
Interest Payment = $60,351 x 15% = $9,053
principal Payment = $21,139 - $9,053 = $12,086
Closing Balance of Mortgage = $60,351 - $12,086 = $48,265
