Interest

First step is to calculate the Equal Monthly Payment

Equal Monthly Payment=P×r×(1+r)^t/(1+r)^t-1

Where:

P=Principal=$36,500

r=Rate=7.7%

t=Time=7 years

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1+0.077)^7÷(1+0.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1.077)^7÷(1.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×1.6807763÷1.6807763-1

Equal Monthly Payment=4,723.82/0.6807763

Equal Monthly Payment=$6,938.875

Second step is to calculate Year 1 Closing balance

Year 1 Closing balance  = Beginning  balance + Interest - EMI Payment

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 +($36,500×7.7%) - $6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 + $2,810.5 -$6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance =   $32,371.625

Third step is to calculate year 2 interest

Year 2 Interest= $32,371.625×7.7%

Year 2 Interest=$2,492.62

Therefore the amount of interest you would be paying in Year 2 is: $2,492.62.
