Create a loan amortization table for a $100,000 2 year loan at 4.875% annual interest payable semi-annually:
a) Calculate the payment amount.
b) Do the loan amortization table.
c) What is the journal entry to receive the third payment?
Answer A)
Annual Interest Rate = 4.875%.
Semi Annual Interest Rate = 2.4375%
Using excel function 'PMT' and taking the following variables, payment amount (Installment amount) comes to $ 26,541.78
Rate = 2.4375%
nper = 4
PV = 100,000
0 = Payment to made at the end of the period
Alternative Way:
PVIFA @ 2.4375% for 4 half years comes to 3.7676.
Installment Amount = 100,000 / 3.7676 = 265,41.78
