QuestionOn February 1, the home mortgage balance was $129,000\$ 129,000 for the home owned by Tom Bryant. The interest rate for the loan is 7 percent. Assuming that Tom makes the February monthly mortgage payment of $1032\$ 1032, calculate the following: (a) The amount of interest included in the February payment (round your answer to the nearest cent). (b) The amount of the monthly mortgage payment that will be used to reduce the principal balance. (c) The new balance after Tom makes this monthly mortgage payment.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the new balance after the payment.
Subtract the principal reduction from the original balance: New balance=Original balancePrincipal reduction \text{New balance} = \text{Original balance} - \text{Principal reduction} New balance=129,000279.50 \text{New balance} = 129,000 - 279.50 New balance=128,720.50 \text{New balance} = 128,720.50
(c) The new balance after Tom makes this monthly mortgage payment is 128,720.50 \boxed{128,720.50} .
