What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table that shows the periodic payments, portions of interest and principal paid, and the loan balance.  It is useful for financial managers to understand how much is remaining unpaid and the amount to record as the interest expense periodically.

Data and Calculations:

Principal = $12,240

Interest rate = 8.71%

Period        Payment   Interest   Repayment    Extra Payment    Balance

Month 13    $387.58     $61.76      $325.82          $0                   $8,182.71

Month 14    $387.58   $59.39       $328.19           $0                 $7,854.52

Month 15    $387.58    $57.01      $330.57           $0                 $7,523.95

Month 16    $387.58    $54.61      $332.97           $0                 $7,190.99

Month 17     $387.58   $52.19      $335.38           $0                $6,855.60

Month 18    $387.58   $49.76      $337.82           $0                 $6,517.78

Month 19    $387.58   $47.31      $340.27            $0                 $6,177.51

Annual Percentage Rate = 8.71% ($49.76/$6,517.78 x 100 x 12)

Monthly Percentage (Interest) Rate = 0.726%.

Thus, the true statement about the three-year amortization schedule is Option C).
