Answer 1

1. PMT(10%/2,10*2,-10000) THROUGH THIS formula you will get the value in excel as $ 802.43. Here, Rate = 10%/2; Nper = 10*2; PV = -10000

2.

Year	Principle	Loan	Interest	Principle	Balance
1	$ 10,000.00	$ 802.43	$ 500.00	$ 302.43	$ 9,697.57
2	$    9,697.57	$ 802.43	$ 484.88	$ 317.55	$ 9,380.03

• The interest amount that was included in the first payment is $500
• The repayment of principal in the first year is $302.43
• The interest amount for the second payment is $484.88
• The principal amount repaid in the second payment is $317.55
• As the number of periods increase the interest amount decreases and the principal amount that is repaid increases.

3. Interest will be $ 984.88 to be shown in schedule B
