Notes & Hints...

1.If you feel that some critical piece of information is missing, make and highlight an appropriate assumption.If you wish, you can check with me about the need for and validity of a particular assumption.

2.I recommend constructing the statements for one month and then copying the formulas over to the remaining months.I will look at the copy of your spreadsheet on the disk to see what formulas you have used to develop your model.

3.Make sure you provide instructions for other users, if the loan calculation isn't automatic.

4.Ignore taxes.
