That's a very creative formula you have there, but it makes no sense to me.
You want the present value of monthly payments of $350 for 20 years at 6% compounded monthly
PV = 350(1 - 1.005^-240)/.005
= 48,853.27
Btw, your P value turns out to be 319.50
Did you find that formula in your text or your notes ?
Nick would like to purchase a vacation timeshare, but he can only afford a $350 monthly loan payment. He wants the loan to extend 20 years, and the annual interest rate is 6%. How much money will Nick need to borrow if he repays the loan at $350 per month over the 20-year period of the loan?
350=P * (0.06*20)/12
