Answer:
Option A is correct
Explanation:
R = [P*(r/12)]/[1-(12/(12+r))]^(12*r)
t = time = 25 years
P = initial principal = 125000
R = initial interest rate = 9.75
So therefore:
R = 125000* (0.0975/12)/[ 1 - (12/(12+0.975)]^(300)
R = 1015.625/(1-0.088)
R = $1113.62 per month
Compounding R for the first five years = 6205.4
Balance = 125000 - 6205.4 = 118792.7
So therefore with the new rate = 8.75
New P = 118792.7
t = 20
R = 118792.7*(0.0875/12)/[1- (12/(12+0.0875))^(240)]
R = 866.197/0.825
R = 1049.93 = $1050
