Explanation:

The house is bought for $275,000 and 10% down payment is made. The down payment amounts $27,500. The amount after down payment will be $247,500 paid in monthly installments which is financed by 30 year term bank loan. The bank loan interest is compounded monthly so there will be 316 payments of $1,291.08. The last payment is 317th payment amounting 1,194.97.
