$34,243.28

Explanation:

Simple interest = P x r x t

where:

P = Principal

r = rate

T = time

Therefore simple interest = 20,000 x 6% x 4 = $4,800

Compound Interest = ((P*(1+r)^n) - P),

where P is the principal,

r is the annual interest rate = 7%, and

n is the number of periods = 4 years x 4 quarters a year.

Therefore compound interest = ((20000 (1+0.07)^16)-20000) = $39,043.28

Difference in interest = $39,043.28 - $4,800 = $34,243.28
