Answer: Total Monthly Payments = $1515.82

Explanation:

Present Value = $154000

n = 25 x 12 = 300

r = 6.5%/12

Payments = rPv / (1 - (1 + r) ^-n)

Payments = 0.065/12 x (154000) / (1 - (1 + 0.065/12) ^-300)

Payments = 834.166667/0.8022229250

Payments = 1039.819037 = $1039.82.

Mortgage Loan Payments = $1039.82

Taxes per month = 2796/12 = $233

insurance per month = 1416/12 = $118

condo association = $125

Total Monthly Payments = 1039.82 + 233 + 118 + 125 = $1515.82
