Question: ADJUSTABLE-RATE MORTGAGES Three years ago, Samantha secured an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan to help finance the purchase of a house. The amount of the original loan was $150,000 for a term of 30 yr, with interest at the rate of 7.5%/year compounded monthly. Currently the interest rate is 7%/year compounded monthly, and Samantha's monthly payments are due to be recalculated. What will be her new monthly payment? Hint: Calculate her current outstanding principal. Then, to amortize the loan in the next 27 yr, determine the monthly payment based on the current interest rate.
