- You want to take out a 450,000 loan on a 20-year mortgage with end-of-month payments. The annual rate of interest is 3%. Twenty years from now, you will need to make a 50,000 ending balloon payment. Because you expect your income to increase, you want to structure the loan so at the beginning of each year, your monthly payments increase by 2%. a. Determine the amount of each years monthly payment. You should use a lookup table to look up each years monthly payment and to look up the year based on the month (e.g., month 13 is year 2, etc.). b. Suppose payment each month is to be the same, and there is no balloon payment. Show that the monthly payment you can calculate from your spreadsheet matches the value given by the Excel PMT function PMT(0.03/12,240, 450000,0,0).arrow_forwardplease answer within 30 minutes.arrow_forwardBelow shown is a logical representation of an index table built on columnA SearchKey Record Location G005234 1 G098967 3 G099537 9 G136790 13 Based on the provided information, which one of the following statements is correct?

Jacob is unaware of Jill’s profession and gracefully rented the apartment which was unoccupied for the last year. Jacob saw several people coming and going from the apartment but was not concerned because he thought that they were all Jill’s friends. Indeed, Jacob was a private person who paid little attention to other people’s activities. He focused on his tasks and that of his family. Jill did not pay her rent for 3 months and Jacob sought to enforce the right to terminate the rental agreement and sue for the outstanding rent. Jill has indicated that she will not pay any outstanding rent and told Jacob that his contract with her was illegal bearing in mind that she was using the apartment for the illegal purpose of prostitution. Advise Jacob on this matter.arrow_forward
