Answer 1

Answer & Explanation:

1- What would be the amount of each installment?

The principal to be paid in each instalment = $300,000/3 = $100,000

1st instalment = $300,000*5% + $100,000 = $115,000

2nd instalment = $200,000*5% + $100,000 = $110,000

3rd installment = $100,000*5% +$100,000 = $105,000

2- Prepare an amortization table for the instalment note.
