You take out a 5-year balloon mortgage for $150,000.The monthly
payment is equal to that of a 15-year mortgage with an annual
percentage rate of 5%. Find the balloon payment and the total
interest that you pay. Suppose instead you take out a home mortgage
for $190,000 for 20 years at 5%.
a. What is the least amount, to the nearest dollar, that you need
to pay in addition to the regular payment to pay off the mortgage 5
years early?
b. Compare the total interest you pay for the 20-year mortgage to
the total interest you pay when you pay off the 20-year mortgage 5
years early.
c. Compare the total interest you pay for a 15-year mortgage for
the same amount and at the same rate to the total interest you pay
when you pay early.
