A Maine homebuyer obtains a $320,000 mortgage at 6.5% for 30 years. The monthly principal and interest payment is approximately $2,023. Over 30 years, total interest paid is approximately:
A$208,280
B$408,280✓ Correct
C$728,280
D$508,280
Explanation
Total payments = $2,023 × 360 = $728,280. Total interest = $728,280 − $320,000 = $408,280. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $320,000 and $2,023 at 6.5%.. The correct answer is $408,280.. This is a common calculation on the Maine real estate exam.
