The goal is to construct a table representing the first three months of the loan, indicating the amounts of each monthly payment toward principal and interest, given that the amount borrowed is $24000\$24000 with an annual percentage rate of 8%8\% for 1515 years.

To construct the table, find the monthly interest rate, the monthly payment, the interest payment due at the end of the first, second, and third months, and the new loan principal.

To determine the monthly payment, apply Loan Payment Formula:

PMT=P×APRn[1(1+APRn)nY]PMT=\dfrac{P\times \frac{APR}{n}}{[1-(1+\frac{APR}{n})^{-nY}]}

where PMTPMT is the monthly payment, PP is the starting loan principal, APRAPR is the annual percentage rate (as a decimal), nn is the number of payment periods per year, and YY is the loan term in years.
