John borrows $150,000. The terms of the loan are 7.5% over the next 5 years. It is important to note that he makes annual rather than monthly payments.
Construct a loan amortization schedule that shows the 5 payments of John's loan.
hard to show charts on here, since columns don't line up.
First you have to find the payment, solve for x
150000 = x(1 - 1.075^-5)/.075
(I got 37 074.71 )
make a table with headings
Time -- payment --interest --- repayment -- balance
1 -- 37074.71 -- 11250 --- 25824.71 --- 124175.29
2 --- 37074.71 --9313.15 -- 27761.56 -- 96413.73

To construct a loan amortization schedule for John's loan, we need to calculate the annual payment amount and then distribute it over the 5-year period. We can use the formula for calculating the fixed payment of a loan, called the amortization formula.
The amortization formula is:
P = A * (1 - (1 + r)^(-n)) / r
where:
P = principal amount of the loan
A = annual payment amount
r = interest rate per year (expressed as a decimal)
n = total number of years
Let's plug in the given values into the formula:
P = $150,000
r = 7.5% = 0.075 (expressed as a decimal)
n = 5
Now, we need to solve for the annual payment amount (A):
A = P * (r / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n)))
Using the values above, we can calculate A:
A = $150,000 * (0.075 / (1 - (1 + 0.075)^(-5)))
A ≈ $37,648.30 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Now that we have the annual payment amount, we can distribute it over the 5-year period to create the loan amortization schedule.
Year 1:
Starting Balance = $150,000
Payment = $37,648.30
Interest = Starting Balance * r = $11,250
Principal Payment = Payment - Interest = $37,648.30 - $11,250 = $26,398.30
Remaining Balance = Starting Balance - Principal Payment = $150,000 - $26,398.30 = $123,601.70
Year 2:
Starting Balance = $123,601.70
Payment = $37,648.30
Interest = Starting Balance * r = $9,270.13
Principal Payment = Payment - Interest = $37,648.30 - $9,270.13 = $28,378.17
Remaining Balance = Starting Balance - Principal Payment = $123,601.70 - $28,378.17 = $95,223.53
Year 3:
Starting Balance = $95,223.53
Payment = $37,648.30
Interest = Starting Balance * r = $7,141.76
Principal Payment = Payment - Interest = $37,648.30 - $7,141.76 = $30,506.54
Remaining Balance = Starting Balance - Principal Payment = $95,223.53 - $30,506.54 = $64,716.99
Year 4:
Starting Balance = $64,716.99
Payment = $37,648.30
Interest = Starting Balance * r = $4,853.78
Principal Payment = Payment - Interest = $37,648.30 - $4,853.78 = $32,794.52
Remaining Balance = Starting Balance - Principal Payment = $64,716.99 - $32,794.52 = $31,922.47
Year 5:
Starting Balance = $31,922.47
Payment = $37,648.30
Interest = Starting Balance * r = $2,394.19
Principal Payment = Payment - Interest = $37,648.30 - $2,394.19 = $35,254.11
Remaining Balance = Starting Balance - Principal Payment = $31,922.47 - $35,254.11 = -$3,331.64
Note: In the last year, the Remaining Balance becomes negative, indicating that the loan has been completely paid off.
This is the loan amortization schedule for John's loan.
