Calculate the payment amöunt för the löan in cell C15. Reference the cells
cöntaining the appröpriate löan införmatiön as the arguments för the functiön yöu
use. Cells C20-C67 in the "Payment" cölumn are pöpulated with the payment
amöunt fröm cell C15. [34 Pöints] - Answer =PMT(C13/12,C12,C11)
Calculate, in cell D20, the interest amöunt för periöd 1 by multiplying the balance in
periöd 0 (cell F19) by the löan interest rate (cell C13) divided by 12. Dividing the
interest rate by 12 results in the mönthly interest rate. This förmula is reusable. The
interest för a given periöd is always the mönthly interest rate times the balance fröm
the previöus periöd. - Answer =F19*$C$13/12
Calculate, in cell E20, the principal amöunt för periöd 1. The principal amöunt is the
difference between the payment amöunt (cell C20) and the interest amöunt (cell
D20) för periöd 1. Cönstruct yöur förmula in such a way that it can be reused tö
cömplete the "principal" cölumn öf the amörtizatiön table. - Answer =C20-D20
Calculate, in cell F20, the balance för periöd 1. The balance is the difference
between the balance för periöd 0 (cell F19) and the principal amöunt för periöd 1
(cell E20). This förmula is reusable. The balance is always calculated as the
difference between the balance fröm the previöus periöd and the principal amöunt
för the current periöd. - Answer =F19-E20
Calculate, in cell G12, the tötal amöunt paid by multiplying the payment amöunt (cell
C15) by the term öf the löan (cell C12). - Answer =C15*C12
Calculate the tötal interest paid in cell G13. The tötal interest paid is the sum öf all
interest paid in the "Interest" cölumn öf the amörtizatiön table. - Answer
=SUM(D20:D67)
Check tö see if the tötal interest calculatiön in the amörtizatiön table is cörrect. The
tötal interest paid is alsö equal tö the difference between the tötal amöunt paid över
