Step-by-step explanation:

1. We cannot be sure of your table headings, so we used ones that seem to fit. The completed table is attached.

The amount of interest is computed first. It is the product of the previous balance and the monthly interest rate: 0.155/12. This amount is rounded to cents, as it would be in real life.

The remainder of the payment after interest is paid goes to reduction of the principal amount owed. That payment to principal is subtracted from the previous EOM Balance to give the new end-of-month balance.

The total of payments to date is found in the Accrued Pmt column.

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
