Computation of the future value:-

Future value = Payment*(((1+rate)^n-1)/rate)

Here,

Rate = 3%/12 = 0.25% (monthly)

n = 20*12 = 240 periods (monthly)

FV = $233*(((1+0.25%)^240-1)/0.25%)

= $233*328.301998

= $76,494.37

 

Computation of the amount of interest:-

Amount of interest = Future value - Total payments

= $76,494.37 - ($233*20*12)

= $76,494.37 - $55,920

= $20,574.37
