You can put this solution on YOUR website!
loan is 15,000, amortized over a 4 year period at 10% interest rate per year.
payment on the loan at the end of each year is 4732.06.

here's the amortization schedule.

beginning of first year balance = 15,000
end of first year balance = 15,000 * 1.10 - 4732.06 = 11767.94
end of second year balance = 11767.94 * 1.10 - 4732.06 = 8212.67
end of third year balance = 8212.67 * 1.10 - 4732.06 = 4301.87
end of fourth year balance = 4301.87 * 1.10 - 4732.06 = 0

numbers shown are rounded to the nearest penny.
the actual calculations were done with the unrounded numbers.

you can do this yourself with the following online financial calculator.

the output looks like this.

inputs are everything except the payment amount.
output is the payment amount

you still have to make up the amortization schedule yourself.

i used the ti-ba-ii business analyst calculator.
it does the same job as the online financial calculator.
