the remaining balance is 1,000,000.

the interest on the loan is 7.5% per year.

.075 * 1,000,000 = 75,000 a year.

3 * 75,000 = 225,000 interest payments total in 3 years.

the remaining balance on the loan remains the same since she did not do anything to reduce the principal.

the year by year analysis is:

beginning of year 1 she owes 1,000,000

end of year 1 she owes .075 * 1,000,000 = 1,075,000
she makes a payment of 75,000, so she owes 1,000,000

end of year 2 she owes .075 * 1,000,000 = 1,075,000
she makes a payment of 75,000, so she owes 1,000,000

end of year 3 she owes .075 * 1,000,000 = 1,075,000
she makes a payment of 75,000, so she owes 1,000,000

her total interest payment over the 3 years is 3 * 75,000 = 225,000.
