FinancingInterest_and_payment_calculationsHARD

A payment-option loan has a current balance of $210,000 and a 6.6% annual rate. The borrower's minimum monthly payment this month is $1,050. If any unpaid interest is added to the balance, how much negative amortization occurs this month?

Correct Answer

C) $105.00

Step 1: Monthly interest due = $210,000 × 6.6% ÷ 12 = $1,155. Step 2: Payment shortfall = $1,155 − $1,050 = $105. Because the unpaid interest is added to the balance, the loan negatively amortizes by $105 this month.
