    Explanation:

    First, we have to find out the monthly interest payment which is shown below:

    = (Starting balance of January month * interest rate) : total number of years in a year

    = ($150,000 * 3.25%) : 12 months

    = $406.25

    The total monthly payments is $640.50

    So, the first payment would be

    = Total monthly payments - monthly interest payment

    = $640.50 - $406.25

    = $234.25
