Imagine you have $50,000 for a house down payment for a $250,000 home. Now, go through the process of estimating the monthly payments on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage of $200,000 assuming your mortgage carries a 5% interest rate. (Since we emphasized annual rather than monthly payments in this class, imagine you were paying your mortgage once a year and then divide by 12 months.) If you pay off the mortgage after thirty years, how much will you have paid in interest beyond the price of the house itself?

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
