Answer:
$1,355.47
Explanation:
if you are going to finance the up-front mortgage insurance premium, then the total principal of the loan will increase by 1%, so it will be = $250,000 x 1.01 = $252,500. It is normal to finance UFMIP payments since they are additional closing costs and the whole purpose of FHA loans is to allow more people to be able to buy a house.
we can use the present value of an annuity formula to determine the monthly payment.
monthly payment = principal / PV annuity factor
monthly payment = $252,500 / 186.2816 = $1,355.474722 ≈ $1,355.47
I prepared an amortization schedule in order to check the answer. At the end the final balance is $3.83, but that is because you have to round to the nearest cent. If the payment is rounded to $1,355.48, the the balance is -$4.50.
