Amortization table with two periods

This exercise adds new values to calculate for your schedule and adds the second period to your amortization schedule.

The new values required are:

  • Opening Balance (in column E)
  • Closing Balance (in column F)
  • Period 2 Amortization (row 9)

You'll also need to remember how to properly account for monthly payments given an annual rate.
