In Exercises 1-10, use
to determine the regular payment amount, rounded to the nearest dollar.
The cost of a home is financed with a $160,000 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 4.2%
a. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for the loan.
b. Prepare a loan amortization schedule for the first three months of the mortgage. Round entries to the nearest cent.

- In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision.
