The monthly payment is $1,568.07

Explanation:

The amount required to purchase the condominium is $287,500, however the amount of finance required is : $287,500 - ($287,500*25%) = $215,625.00

The monthly mortgage payment required can be computed using the pmt formula in excel"

=pmt (rate, nper,-pv, fv)

rate is the payable on the mortgage on monthly basis which is 3.75%/12=0.003125

nper is the number of years of mortgage multiplied by 12 months since 12 monthly repayments are required in a year i. e 15*12=180

pv is the actual mortgage value is $215,625

fv is the future value of the mortgage and it is unknown

=pmt (0.003125,180,-215625,0)

pmt=$1,568.07
