Answer 1

Answer:

182,427.03

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost =    r*p*n

                   ---------------

                     1- (1+r) ^-n

Where r is the loan rate, p is the principal, n is the number of payments

rate = 4.04% / 12 months

total cost = (.0404/12)* 125000* 240

                    ------------------------------

                     1- (1+.0404/12)^-240

101000

-----------------

1-.44635

Using Payments are 730 *240 months

730*240 =175200
