1. Try it! 1
You plan to purchase a house for a price of
$300,000. The down payment is $100,000.
Calculate the monthly payments for a 30-
year loan at an annual interest rate of 5%
for the remaining $200,000.
• A horizontal line indicates a time flow (left to right) divided into
even sections — months in this case. Each section indicates a
compound period and the total number of sections indicates the
total number of periods for payment.
