at the time of refinancing.

Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function

$=PMT(rate,$ nper, $pv,fv,$ type$)$

calculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows.

rate $=$ the interest rate for the loan

nper$=$ the total number of payments

$pv=$ present value $($the amount borrowed$)$

$fv=$ future value $[$the desired cash balance after the last payment $($usually $0)]$

type $=$ payment type $(0$ end of period, $1$ beginning of the period$)$

as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.

$\frac{K}{(1+r{)}^{t-1}}$

where $r$ is the monthly inflation rate. Assume that $r=0\mathrm{.}003$ and that Dave and Jana make their payment at the end of each month.

Use your model to calculate the savings in current dollars associated with the refinanced loan versus staying with the original loan. $($Round your answer the nearest cent.$)$
