Expert Solution

First, let's find the initial monthly payment

Effective monthly rate, r = (1 + 0.04/2)^(1/6) - 1

r = 0.003305890325

n = 25 * 12 = 300 monthly payments

Now, the number of remaining payments is 20 * 12 = 240

Let's find the outstanding balance, PV

Mr. Wilson's equity now = Current worth of the house - Outstanding balance

Mr. Wilson's equity now = 300,000 - 226,340.179655602

Mr. Wilson's equity now = $73,659.820344398

Mr. Wilson's equity now = $73,700
