Answer:

$821.69

Explanation:

First, remove the down payment to determine the amount of mortgage owing :

Principle = $145,000 - $15,000

              = $130,000

Next, use the Time Value of Money techniques to determine the monthly mortgage payments (PMT).

Pv = $130,000

N = 30 × 12 = 360

i = 6.5%

P/yr = 12

Fv = $ 0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial Calculator to enter the values as above, the mortgage payments (PMT) will be $821.69
