Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet with the amortization schedules for both families.
a. Calculate the mortgage payment (the same for both families).
the monthly payment for both families is $1,049.21
Complete the following calculations to find what they plan to pay each month:- 1. 1/12 of the required monthly payment = $87.43
2. By adding this 1/12 to the required payments, the Jeffersons plan to pay $1,136.64 each month.
The Jeffersons will pay their debt in 24 years and 7 months (295 months instead of 360).
