Comedian Sammy Obeid (host of “100 Humans” on Netflix) in collaboration with TBS Business School explains loan amortization. Understanding how loans are amortized is important not only to students of finance, but also to anyone who has borrowed money or plans to do so, whether for buying a house or a car, financing an education, or any other purpose. This video provides an entertaining yet rigorous overview of how loan amortization works.
Suggested discussion questions:
- How is the ending loan balance calculated each period?
- How does the term of the loan affect the amortization schedule?
A spreadsheet with calculations corresponding to the three examples in the video is here: [ Ссылка ]
