FV=future value=$500,000
PMT=semiannual payment required=unknown
r=semiannual interest rate=6.3%/2=3.15%=0.0315
N=number of semiannual payments in 15 years=15*2=30
$500,000=PMT*(1+0.0315)^30-1/0.0315
$500,000=PMT*(1.0315)^30-1/0.0315
$500,000=PMT*(2.53557796686568000-1)/0.0315
$500,000=PMT*1.53557796686568000/0.0315
