To pay off $128,000 in 5 years at 6.42% interest you would have to pay almost $30,000 a year ($29,996.08 if my calculations were right). Monthly payments would be $2499.68, so I suppose bimonthly would be $1,249.84. You did not say what your current payments are or if they are monthly, but you would have to specify that anything over your current payment would have to go to principal.
Principle: is the beginning amount of money that is deposited or owed. For instance, you deposit $100 or you take on a loan that is worth $100. The $100 is your principle amount. Interest: Is the cost of borrowing. The higher principle, the higher interest payment you will have to pay because the interest due is a percent of the Principle.
Actually, there several benefits of having a bimonthly mortgage payment. One of the benefits is for example the faster pay-off of the loan. Another benefit would be less total payments for the loan - mainly because of less interest payments due to the faster pay-off.
No, why would you want to pay for interest only on a mortgage and not the principle. In order to pay the mortgage off you have to pay on the principle.
The base amount of the loan - not including interest That is the principal of the loan not the principle
Simply reducing the amount of interest on the principle. Reduction of interest will greatly reduce the overall cost of the loan.
18.90 as an interest. and principle wil remain same.
18.90currency as an interest..

I=prt Switch the principle with the interest. Then work the equation out.
Compound interest
true
Current (principle balance) x (interest rate per year) x (amount of time). Examples: ~for calculating monthly interest, it would be (principle balance) x (interest rate) / 12. ~for daily interest, it would be (principle balance) x (interest rate) / 365.
The answer is called amortization. In a typical loan payment, interest is calculated based on the outstanding principle balance. When the periodic payment remains constant the amount of that payment allocated to interest declines as the principle balance is reduced.
With compound interest the interest amount is added to the principle and then earns interest as well. This is usually expressed as an annual percentage rate (APR). Simple interest is not added to the principle and does not earn further interest and is used rarely.

The answer is compound interest
