3. You are thinking about buying a house that costs $150,000 and you plant to take out a 30-year loan with 5% interest with no down payment. The interest is compounded monthly. a) If you had $150,000 today, and instead of buying the house, you put that money in the bank for 30 years at 5% interest compounded monthly, how much money would you have at the end of 30 years? b) Okay, so you don’t have $150,000 today, and you really want the house. So you take out the loan described above. What will the minimum monthly payments be? c) Over the course of 30 years, how much money will you have paid for your house? d) You have X dollars in savings that you could use as a down payment for the house. If you use your savings as a down payment, what will happen to the total amount of money you will have paid for your house over the course of 30 years: increase, decrease, stay the same? Explain. Circle the correct choice:
