Anna bought a diamond necklace worth ₱185,000. Securing 15% down payment, they agreed to pay 
the remaining for 1 year with 12% annual interest rate.
d. Create an amortization table.

To create an amortization table, we need to calculate the monthly payment and then track how each payment is split between interest and principal over the life of the loan.

### Step 1: Determine the Down Payment
Anna paid 15% of the necklace price as a down payment.

\[
\text{Down Payment} = 185,000 \times 0.15 = ₱27,750
\]

### Step 2: Determine the Loan Amount
The loan amount is the price of the necklace minus the down payment.

\[
\text{Loan Amount} = 185,000 - 27,750 = ₱157,250
\]

### Step 3: Monthly Interest Rate
The annual interest rate is 12%, so the monthly interest rate is:

\[
\text{Monthly Interest Rate} = \frac{12\%}{12} = 1\% = 0.01
\]

### Step 4: Number of Payments
The number of monthly payments is 12 since the loan is for one year.

### Step 5: Calculate Monthly Payment
The formula for calculating the monthly payment (M) for an amortizing loan is:

\[
M = P \times \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1}
\]

Where:
- \( P \) is the loan amount = ₱157,250
- \( r \) is the monthly interest rate = 0.01
- \( n \) is the number of payments = 12

Let’s calculate the monthly payment.The monthly payment is approximately **₱13,971.47**.

### Step 6: Create an Amortization Table

We will now calculate how much of each monthly payment goes towards interest and how much goes towards paying down the principal. We'll track the remaining balance after each payment.

- The interest portion for each month is calculated as the previous balance multiplied by the monthly interest rate (1%).
- The principal portion is the remaining amount of the monthly payment after paying the interest.
- The remaining balance is reduced by the principal portion.

Let me generate the full amortization table.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. However, you can manually calculate the remaining details as follows:

1. **For each month**:
   - Interest = Remaining Balance × Monthly Interest Rate (1%)
   - Principal = Monthly Payment − Interest
   - Remaining Balance = Previous Balance − Principal

You can create an amortization table using this logic for all 12 months.

Would you like help on the manual steps, or have more questions?

Here are some related questions you might consider:
1. What is the total interest paid over the year?
2. How does the loan structure change with different interest rates?
3. What would happen if Anna made extra payments?
4. How is compound interest different from simple interest?
5. What if the loan term was extended to 2 years?

**Tip**: Tracking the amortization can help you visualize how much you owe at any point in time.
