Step-by-step explanation:

Date Cash Interest Exp. Amortization Balance

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jan. 1, Year 1 48,813

End of Year 1 3,600 3,417 183 48,630

End of Year 2 3,600 3,404 196 48,434

End of Year 3 3,600 3,390 210 48,224

End of Year 4 3,600 3,376 224 48,000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculations:

Cash = 3,600 (Fixed amount)

Interest Exp. = 3,417 / 48,813 = 7%

End oy year 2:

Cash 3,600

Interest Expense 48,630 * 7% = 3,404

Amortization 3,600 - 3,404 = 196

End oy year 3:

Cash 3,600

Interest Expense 48,434 * 7% = 3,390

Balance 48,434 - 210 = 48,224

End oy year 4:

Cash 3,600

Amortization 3,600 - 3,376 = 224

Hope this helps!
