1.Total amount to be paid after 30 years = $300,000* [1+(6/100)]30

= $300,000* (106/100)30

=$300,000*5.74

=$1,723,047.35

Total Interest paid in the course of 30 years = $1,723,047.35 - $300,000

=$1,423,047.35

Interest to be paid per month for the course of 30 years = $1,423,047.35/360

=$3,952.91

Total amount to be paid after 20 years = $300,000* [1+(6/100)]20

= $300,000* (106/100)20

= $300,000*3.21

= $962,140.64

Total Interest paid in the course of 20 years = $962,140.64 - $300,000

=$662,140.64

Interest to be paid per month for the course of 20 years = $662,140.64/240

=$2,758.92

Therefore, the monthly rental payment would decrease by $(3,952.91 - 2,758.92) = $1193.99, if i would pay my mortgage in 20 years.
