It was designed to be useful and understandable to everyone, from teenagers trying to swing a loan for that first car to CPA's working on million dollar deals. AMORTZ will easily and quickly calculate any of the loan variables (Principal, Interest Rate, Payment Amount, or Number of Payments). It can then generate an amortization schedule (or "Payback" schedule) showing the principal and interest portion of each payment by due- date. The schedule is summarized by year and can be viewed on the monitor (with the ability to scroll forward or backward by year) AND/OR a hard-copy report can be printed (which can be used as a handy payment log). AMORTZ can also easily be used for "What If" calculations because it can instantly calculate loan totals to show how much cash will be required over the life of the loan. Just add $50.00 to your mortgage payment (for example) to see how many thousands of dollars can be saved over the life of the loan (not to mention paying the loan off YEARS earlier). For business users, annual totals can be presented by Fiscal Year, which is selected by the user. The entire package is menu driven and includes extensive error- checking, making it very "user friendly". AMORTZ runs on all IBM compatible systems and does not require color or special graphics. The program is very compact and can easily be run from either a hard or "floppy" disk. INSTALLATION SHELL The INSTALL program that is included should be used to start your first session with AMORTZ.
