You are buying a car for $25,000. You will put no money down and get a loan for the full purchase price. The bank offers you the following loan terms: APR 8% (Annual percentage rate), 3 year loan with quarterly payments.
Compute the quarterly interest rate, using the equation as shown below:
Quarterly rate = Annual rate/ 4
= 8%/ 4
= 2%
Hence, the quarterly rate is 2%.
Compute the present value annuity factor (PVIFA), using the equation as shown below:
PVIFA = {1 – (1 + Rate)-Number of periods}/ Rate
= {1 – (1 + 0.02)-12}/ 2%
= 10.5753412204
Hence, the present value annuity factor is 10.5753412204.
Compute the quarterly loan payment, using the equation as shown below:
Quarterly loan = Loan amount/ PVIFA
= $25,000/ 10.5753412204
= $2,363.98991568
Hence, the quarterly loan payment is $2,363.98991568.
Prepare the amortization table, using MS-excel as shown below:
The result of the above excel table is as follows:
Hence, the above-mentioned is the amortization table of the loan.
