Expert Solution
Given data

House Price = $1250000

Down Payment = $325000

Loan amount, P = 1250000-325000 = 925000

Time Period, n  = 11 years or 22 Semiannual

Rate, r = 0.08/2 = 0.04 per payment period.

Semiannual Payments

Total Payment in 11 years

Total Payment  = semiannual payments * n = 64008.9 * 22 = $ 1408195.81
