According to your estimates: 1. How much will this couple have to pay each week to pay off the mortgage? (52 weeks per year).  2. How much interest is paid over the term of the mortgage?  3. What is the mortgage balance at the end of the 5th year?  4. If at the beginning of the 6th year the nominal rate drops to 12% compounded quarterly, what is the new amount of the weekly payment?
