Answer and Explanation:

The amortization schedule is presented below:    

Date          Cash   Interest expense    AmortizationBalance

                        A              B                           C = (A - B)

January 1, Year 1                                              $58,998

                                                                                                    D

End of Year 1$3,944     $3,717                     $227                 $58,771

                                                                                                  E = D - C

End of Year 2  $3,944    $3,702.573            $241                 $58,530

End of Year 3  $3,944     $3,687.39            $257                 $58,273

End of Year 4  $3,944     $3,671                   $273              $58,000

Working notes:

For computing the missing amount first we have to find out the interest expense rate which is

= $3,717 ÷ $58,998

= 6.30%

For year 2,

The interest expense is

= $58,771 × 6.30%

= $3,702.573

For year 3,

The interest expense is

= $58,530 × 6.30%

= $3,687.39
