time = 7 year

annual interest rate = 11.5%

monthly payment  = $173.86

we know monthly interest will be here = [tex]\frac{0.115}{12}[/tex] = 0.0096

so here

balance after payment will be here

an = 1.0096 an-1  - 173.86     ........1

here 1.0096  is monthly interest

and monthly payment is subtract here

and an-1 is balance before payment

and an is balance after

so that

payment number                      balance after payment

1                                                  9922.14

2                                                  9843.53

3                                                  9764.17

4                                                   9684.05

.....                                                  ........

83                                                  186.3

84                                                   14.23

85                                                    -159.49
