Question

Prepare an amortization schedule for a three-year loan of $114,000. The interest rate is 11 percent per year, and the loan calls for equal annual payments.

Calculations:

Step 1: Calculate Total Annual Payment

You first need to determine the annual payment (comprising of interest and principal payment). For this, we will use present value formula and calculate P. The formula to be used is:

Present Value (Loan Amount) = P*[((1-(1+r)^-n)/r] where P in annual payment, r is rate of interest and n is years.

Substituting values from the question:

114,000 = P*[((1-(1+11%)^-3)/11%]

Solving for P, we get Annual Payment as = 114,000/2.44 = $46,650.29

Step 2: Calculate Annual Interest and Principal Payments

Interest payment will be calculated on the balance amount of principal for each year. That is after deducting the amount of payment towards principal. For Year 1, it will be on amount of mortgage.

Year 1 Interest Rate Payment = 114,000*11% = $12,540

Year 1 Principal Payment = 46,650.29 - 12540 = $34,110.29

Year 1 Ending Balance Amount = 114,000 - 34,110.29 = $79889.71

Year 2 Interest Rate Payment = 79,889.71*11% = $8,787.87

Year 2 Principal Payment = 46,650.29 - 8,787.87 = $37,862.42

Year 2 Ending Balance Amount = 79,889.71 - 37,862.42 = $42,027.29

Year 3 Interest Rate Payment = 42,027.29*11% = $4,623

Year 3 Principal Payment = 46,650.29 - 4,623 = $42,027.29

Year 3 Ending Balance Amount = 42,027.29 - 42,027.29 = 0

Year Beginning Balance Total Payment Interest Payment Principal Payment Ending Balance 1 $114,000 $46,650.29 $12,540 $34,110.29 $79,889.71 2 $79,889.71 $46,650.29 $8,787.87 $37,862.42 $42,027.29 3 $42,027.29 $46,650.29 $4,623 $42,027.29 0 Total Interest $25,950.87
