HW2 Requirements 3. The Payment function on pages 557 & 558 may be used to calculate the monthly payment: Pmt(dblMonthlyRate, dblMonths, dblAmount) 4.

HW2 Requirements 6. The following formulas may be used in your solution: dblMonthlyRate = CDbl(txtRate.Text) /1200 dblMonths = CDbl(txtYears.Text) * 12 dblAmount = CDbl(txtAmount.Text) lblMonthlyPayment.Text = - Pmt(dblMonthlyRate, dblMonths, dblAmount) Note: I divided the Monthly rate by "1200" vice "12“ to allow the user to enter a whole number (i.e 7.0 vice .07). You need a minus sign before the Pmt function to make a positive answer. 11/18/2018
