Answer #1

What was the quoted interest rate for the mortgage ( with semi annual compounding) ?
Quoted rate with semi monthly compounding=RATE(24*25,-600,250000*(1-20%))*24
=5.27%

rate with semi annual compounding=((1+5.27%/24)^12-1)*2
=5.334%

Assume that Justin Makes every payment on time, what will be the total dollar amount of interest that he will pay over the life of the mortgage?
=600*24*25-250000*(1-20%)
=160,000
