You've decided to buy a house that is valued at $1 million. You have $100,000 to use as a down payment on the house, and want to take out a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price. Your bank has approved your $900,000 mortgage, and is offering a standard 30-year mortgage at a 10% fixed nominal interest rate (called the loan's annual percentage rate or APR). Under this loan proposal, your mortgage payment will be per month. (Note: Round the final value of any interest rate used to four decimal places.) Your friends suggest that you take a 15-year mortgage, because a 30-year mortgage is too long and you will pay a lot of money on interest. If your bank approves a 15-year, $900,000…
