General Idea:
We need to make use of the below formula to find the monthly payment..
[tex] Monthly \; Payment\; =\; \frac{P \times \frac{r}{12}}{(1-(1+\frac{r}{12})^{-m})} \\ \\ Where:\\ P\; is\; Principal\\ r\; is\; rate\; in\; decimal\; form\\ m\; is\; number\; of\; monthly\; payments [/tex]
Applying the concept:
Given:
[tex] P=\$224,500\\ r=4\%=0.04\\ m=30\; year \times 12 \; months/year=360\\ [/tex]
Substituting the given in the formula we will get the monthly payment.
[tex] Monthly\; Payment\; =\; \frac{224500 \times \frac{0.04}{12}}{(1-(1+\frac{0.04}{12})^{-360})} =\frac{\frac{8980}{12}}{(1-0.301796)} =\frac{748.3333}{0.698204} \\ \\ Monthly \; Payment= \$1071.7975 [/tex]
Conclusion:
The monthly payment during the initial period is $1072.
