Since amount for first three years is fixed annual payment already given in
question, we just have to arrive at outstanding balance at the end of three years
that can be paid in lump sum for final settlement of loan.
A B = D x 6% C = A -B D
interest period annual payment annual interest expense @6% reduction in unpaid balance unpaid balance
date of graduation 19,000
year 1        2,581               1,140          1,441 17,559
year 2        2,581               1,054          1,527 16,032
year 3        2,581                  962               1,619     14,412
Explanation:      19,000 given
       2,581 given
First Row 1140 = 19000 x 6%
First Row 1441 = 2581 - 1140
First Row 17559 = 19000-1441
