 In this my post,  I will solve and answer  n.4.2  and  n.4.3.
 
 
 
 
                Part 4.2
Use the formula for the monthly payment for a loan
    M =  where P is a loan amount; r =  = 0.01 is an effective interest rate per month;
n is the number of payments (same as the number of months); M is the monthly payment.
In this problem  P = R2,750,000;  r = 0.01,  n = 20*12 = 240 monthly payments.
Substitute these values into the formula and get for the monthly payment
    M =  = 30279.87  (rounded).
ANSWER to 4.2.  The monthly payment is R30279.87.
Part 4.2 is complete.
                Part 4.3
Now they want you find the principal portion of the 190-th payment.
Use the Excel function PPMT, which is specially designed to calculate the principal part 
of a classic loan scheme for a specific payment.
For description of this function see this source

The format of the function IPMT is as follows
    = PPMT(rate, per, nper, principal, fv, type)
In this format "rate" is the effective rate per period = 0.01 (= 0.01 monthly);       required parameter
                per  = 190 - the payment, of which we want to get the principal part; required parameter
                nper = 240 - total number of payments;                                required parameter 
                principal = 2750000;                                                  required parameter
                fv                                                                    is optional (we can omit it);
                type                                                                  is optional (we can omit it, which means that 
                                                                                         the payment is due at the end of the monthly period)
So, we write in Excel cell/spreadsheet for the principal part of the 190-th payment
    = PPMT(0.01, 190, 240, 2750000),  and we get the value of the principal portion for the 190-th payment of R18,229.05.
ANSWER to n.4.3.  The principal portion of the 190-th payment is R18,229.05.Solved.
