2) $2,093 is the prepayment penalty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Principal amount = $210,000

Interest rate = 5%=0.05

Interest paid = (210,000 * 0.05) / 12 months

Interest paid = $875

Amont paid in June = $ (1575 - 875)

Amont paid in June = $700

Principal paid on the month of may=

(210,000 - 700) $ = 209,300

There is 1% payment delay = 209,300 * 0.01 = $2093

The prepayment penalty = $2,093
