i used excel to solve this.
\n" ); document.write( "i first used a financial calculator to solve for the payment required.
\n" ); document.write( "the payment required at the end of each momth is equal to 30858.37791.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "after the 120th payment is made, john still owes the bank $2,802,539.87.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the interest on the 121st payment is equal to $28,025.40 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the principal on the 121st payment is equal to $2,832.98\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this can be seen in the excerpts from the excel worksheet shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the remaining balance at the end of the 120th payment is multiplied by .01 to get the interest at the end of the 121st payment.
\n" ); document.write( "that is then subtracted from the payment to get the principal at the end of the 121st payment.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
