An $8000 loan is to be amortized with equal monthly payments over a 2 year
period at j (12) = 8 %. Find the outstanding principal after 7 months and split the
8 th payment into principal and interest portions.
outstanding principal after 7 months is?
the principal in the 8 th payment is?
the interest in the 8 th payment is?
Calculating Monthly Payment,
Using TVM Calculation
PMT = [PV = 8,000, FV = 0, N = 24, I = 0.08/12]
PMT = $361.82
Calculating Loan Balance after 7 months,
Using TVM Calculation,
FV = [PV = 8,000, PMT = -361.82, N = 7, I = 0.08/12]
FV = $5,796.92
Interest paid in 8th payment = 5,796.92(0.08/12) = $38.65
Principal paid in 8th payment = 361.82 - 38.65
Principal paid in 8th payment = $323.17
