Answer:
$320,244.92
Explanation:
We must first determine the principal of the loan and we can do that by using the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = monthly payment x annuity factor
PV = $2,356 x 143.01763 = $336,950
Once we have calculated the principal, we can prepare an amortization schedule. I used an excel spreadsheet to do it. Four years and 8 months is the same as 56 monthly payments. The principal's balance after the 56th payment is $320,244.92
