Build a amortization table for the loan below add extra payment to pay off early by no more the 6 months (the loan payment must last 4.5 years even with early payoff) . Show the money saved.
$35,000 loan, 5 years, 5.9% interest, monthly payments with no balloon.
Create an annuity solution to find the payment in Excel (that's the N I/Y PV PMT FV) and then do the amortization table for it.
Using excel function
= PMT (rate, nper, PV)
Rate = 5.9%/12 for monthly rate
nper = 5 years*12 = 60 months
PV = -35,000 (- sign for getting positive value of annuity)
=PMT( 5.9%/12, 60, -35000)
= $675.02
The amortization table will be as below:
Clearly, there is saving of money in extra payment to pay off
early.
Saving = $5432.52 - $5,501.31 = $68.79
