Answer:

a) $1,133,119.65.

b) $288,000

c) $845,119.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Future value with annuity:

The future value formula, for an annuity, is:

[tex]FV = \frac{P((1+r)^{n} - 1)}{r}[/tex]

An annuity means that a number of payments happen during the period.

P is the value of the deposit, r is the interest rate(per year), as a decimal, and n is the number of deposits.

800 per month:

So [tex]P = 800[/tex].

Each month, for 30 yeas:

This means that [tex]n = 12*30 = 360[/tex]

7% interest

Yearly, however, we pay the amount monthly. So [tex]r = \frac{0.07}{12}[/tex]

a) How big of a loan can you afford?

This is FV.

[tex]FV = \frac{800((1+ \frac{0.07}{12})^{360} - 1)}{\frac{0.07}{12}} = 1113119.65[/tex]

You can afford a loan of $1,133,119.65.

b) How much total money will you pay the loan company?

$800 for 360 months. So

$800*360 = $288,000

You will pay the loan company $288,000

c) How much of that money is interest?

The rest of the $1,133,119.65.

$1,133,119.65 - $288,000 = $845,119.65

$845,119.65 of that money is interest.
