A house is selling for $295,000. The bank offers 3.9% APR for the 30-year loan.

a) How much will the mortgage payment be each month? Solve the problem by hand using the appropriate formula, and show all work.

b) Solve the problem by using the mortgage calculator at https://www.hvfcu.org/Personal/Home-Finance-Center... Take a screenshot of the result and paste it here.

    (38000 -34850)(.25) + (34850-8450)(.15) + 8450(.10) = $5,592.50

    (5492.5/38000)(100) = 14.7% effective rate

    A better calculation of effective rate would use total income (or adjusted gross income) as the divisor, not taxable income.
