    Payments (P) = 1450

    n = 30years; 30*12 months

    APR (c) = 9%; 0.09/12 monthly = 0.0075

    L - loan

    P = L[c (1 + c) ^n]/[ (1 + c) ^n - 1]

    1450 = L[0.0075 (1+0.0075) ^360]/[ (1+0.0075) ^360 - 1]

    L = 180208.7

    Balance loan

    B = L[ (1 + c) ^n - (1 + c) p]/[ (1 + c) ^n - 1]

    = 180208.7[ (1+0.0075) ^360 - (1+0.0075) 1450]/[ (1+0.0075) ^360 - 1]

    = 172784.35

    a. Monthly payments required on the new loan

    APR = 6.625%; 0.00552 monthly

    =172784.35 * [0.00552 * (1+0.00552) ^360]/[ (1+0.00552) ^360 - 1] = 1106.36

    b. n = 25years; 300 months

    P = 172784.35 * [0.00552 (1+0.00552) ^300]/[ (1+0.00552) 300 - 1] = 1180.18

    c.

    1450 = 172784.35[0.0075 (1+0.0075) ^ (n*12) ]/[ (1+0.0075) ^ (n*12) - 1]

    n = 16.23 years

    d.

    1450 = L[0.0075 (1+0.0075) ^300]/[ (1+0.0075) ^300 - 1]

    L = 212286.65

    Additional cash = 212286.65 - 172784.35 = 39502.3
