1. Construct the amortization schedule for a $20000 debt that is to be amortized in 8 equal quarterly payments at an annual rate of 12 % compounded quarterly on the unpaid balance.
First, determine the size of the payments, PMT = _________?
|Payment # |size of payment |interest paid |balance paid |unpaid balance |
| | | j = 0.03 | |$20000.00 |
|1 | |$600.00 | | |
|2 | | | | |
|3 | | | | |
|4 | | | | |
|5 | | | | |
|6 | | | | |
|7 | | | | |
|8 | | | |$0.00 |
How much total interest will be paid over the 8 quarters ?
