Installment loans

Most notes payable require that the total amount of interest on the note be paid on the maturity date along with the principal of the note. Installment notes or loans, however, require regular payments to be paid. Each payment covers interest for that period plus the repayment of a portion of the principal amount. The amount of the periodic payment Selectdecreasesincreasesstays the sameCorrect 1 of Item 3. The amount of principal that is repaid with each successive payment Selectdecreasesincreasesstays the sameCorrect 2 of Item 3.

The formula for calculating interest for an installment loan is:

Principal at Beginning of Period x Rate x Time

The only difference between this formula and the previous one is that the principal portion of this formula is the principal at the beginning of the period. This amount is different each period because the outstanding principal decreases with each payment.

Also remember that if the end of a fiscal period occurs before interest is paid, an entry must be made to record accrued interest expense and interest payable.
