Answer 1

Answer:

$1,161.23

Explanation:

For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $99,000

Future value or Face value = $0

RATE = 3% ÷ 12 months = 0.25

NPER = 8 years × 12 months = 96 months

The formula is shown below:  

= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $1,161.23
