7. Amortization Table A table which lists the full payback schedule of a loan such as a mortgage, car loan, student loan, etc. Shows what portion of each payment will go to principle and interest. Monthly Payment Formula: P: Original Principle M: Monthly payment n: number of payments r: interest per payment period (ie 6% interest/year, r=.06/12)

8. Excel Lab Example 1: Create a spreadsheet that will calculate the value in an account, with a certain interest rate, showing its balance over time, with simple, compounding, and continuous compounding.

9. Excel Lab Example 2: A company is considering two projects to invest in: Project A will cost $100,000 up front and bring in $6000 per year over 20 years. Project B will cost $150,000 up front and bring in $7000 per year over 23 years. Which should the company choose? Compare at different interest rates.
