Here's how to calculate the quarterly payment for the loan:
**1. Given Information:**
* Principal (P): $5,000,000
* Annual interest rate (r): 7% or 0.07
* Loan term (t): 30 years
* Compounding periods per year (n): 4 (quarterly)
**2. Calculate the Quarterly Interest Rate (i):**
* i = r / n = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175
**3. Calculate the Total Number of Payments (N):**
* N = n * t = 4 * 30 = 120
**4. Use the Loan Payment Formula:**
PMT = P * [i * (1 + i)^N] / [(1 + i)^N - 1]
Where:
* PMT = periodic payment
* P = principal
* i = interest rate per period
* N = total number of payments
**5. Plug in the Values:**
PMT = 5000000 * [0.0175 * (1 + 0.0175)^120] / [(1 + 0.0175)^120 - 1]
PMT = 5000000 * [0.0175 * (1.0175)^120] / [(1.0175)^120 - 1]
**6. Calculate (1.0175)^120:**
(1.0175)^120 ≈ 7.612255
**7. Substitute and Solve:**
PMT = 5000000 * [0.0175 * 7.612255] / [7.612255 - 1]
PMT = 5000000 * [0.1332144625] / [6.612255]
PMT = 5000000 * 0.0201465
PMT = 100732.5
**Answer:**
The quarterly payment (PMT) is approximately $100,732.50.

        I used the same formulas as in the post by @CPhill.
        I calculated using MS Excel and Google spreadsheets.
        My final result is different from that by @CPhill.

Here's how to calculate the quarterly payment for the loan:

**1. Given Information:**

* Principal (P): $5,000,000
* Annual interest rate (r): 7% or 0.07
* Loan term (t): 30 years
* Compounding periods per year (n): 4 (quarterly)

**2. Calculate the Quarterly Interest Rate (i):**

* i = r / n = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

**3. Calculate the Total Number of Payments (N):**

* N = n * t = 4 * 30 = 120

**4. Use the Loan Payment Formula:**

PMT = P * (i * (1 + i)^N) / ((1 + i)^N - 1)

Where:

* PMT = periodic payment
* P = principal
* i = interest rate per period
* N = total number of payments

**5. Plug in the Values:**

PMT = 5000000 * (0.0175 * (1 + 0.0175)^120) / ((1 + 0.0175)^120 - 1)

PMT = 5000000 * (0.0175 * (1.0175)^120) / ((1.0175)^120 - 1)

PMT = 99965.84.     <<<---===  obtained from MS Excel and confirmed by Google spreadsheet.

**Answer:**

The quarterly payment (PMT) is $99,965.84.
