Answer:
the size of the mortgage with these terms is $149,138.24
Explanation:
The computation of the size of the mortgage is shown below:
Present value of annuity is
= Monthly payment × {[1 - (1 + rate of interest)^-number of months] ÷ rate of interest}
= $1,200 × {[1 - (1 + 0.0075)^-360] ÷ 0.0075}
= $1,200 × 124.2819
= $149,138.24
The 360 is come from
= 30 years × 12 months
= 360 months
hence, the size of the mortgage with these terms is $149,138.24
