An amount of $21,000 is borrowed for 10 years at 3.25% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of that period, how much must be paid back?

The formula for total loan cost is attached.
10 years = 120 payments
MONTHLY Interest = .0325 / 12 = 0.0027083333

total = 0.0027083333 * 21,000 * 120 / (1-(1.0027083333)-120
total = 6,825 / (1- 0.7228448406 )
total = 6,825 / 0.2771551594
total = 24,625.20
