Your bank has approved your $800,000 mortgage, and is offering a standard 30-year mortgage at a 9% 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.
