Explanation / Answer

Here PV = $250,000. nper = 30*12 = 360 and rate = 4.35%/12

We can use the "PMT" function in excel.

The syntax will be: PMT(4.35%/12, 360, 250000)

Excel gives us a number of -$1,244.53. This is negative as it is a cash outflow. Thus monthly payment = $1,244.53

The loan amortization table is provided below:

Thus interest paid in 2016 = 842.08+840.63+839.16+837.69+836.22+834.74+833.25+831.76+830.26+828.76+827.26+825.74

= $10,007.56

Caluclations for monthly interest:

For month 1 interest = 4.35%/12*250,000 = $906.25

Amount of principal due at the end of month 1 = 250,000-1244.53+906.25 = 249661.72

Interest for month 2 = 4.35%/12*249661.72 = 905.02

Similarly interest for all the months have been computed.
