In a 2/28 "hybrid" adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), the initial interest rate is fixed for 2 years and then is adjusted every 6 months. (You usually pay "points" up front at closing in exchange for the "rate lock" for the first 2 years.) Suppose you buy a house with a $150,000 mortgage, with a 2/28 ARM with initial rate of 3%; and suppose that 2 years later, the interest rate goes up to 5%. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a)

What was your payment originally, at 3%?

(b)

What is your new payment? (Hint: The amount of the loan is no longer $200,000, and you have only 28 years to pay it off.)
