Amortization for the First Year
The Amortization model prompts you for the starting and
ending payment numbers to define a range of payment
periods. You can then use the TVM values you entered
earlier to find the loan balance after the last payment and
the total principal and interest paid in the range. Find the
balance, principal, and interest after 12 payments.
