(1) Create a graph that shows how the payments are divided between interest and
principal repayment over time.
(2) Suppose the loan called for 10 years of monthly payments, 120 payments in all,
with the same original amount and the same nominal interest rate. What would
the amortization schedule show now?
Go back to cells D184 and D185, and change the interest rate and the term to maturity to
see how the payments would change.
