    $65,000 x loan constant (.011849) = loan payment = $770,185

    Interest accrued after one month

    65000 x (.14 x ( 1 / 12)) = 758.33

    770.185 payment - 758.33 interest accrued = 11.855 toward paying down the loan

    65000 - 11.855 = 64,988.145

    Month 2 Interest accrued

    64,988.145 x (.14 x ( 1 / 12)) = 758.195

    Month 2 payment = 770.185 payment - 758.195 interest accrued = 11.99 toward paying down the loan

    Balance at month 2 = 64,988.145 - 11.99 = 64,976.155.
