    1. Open the workbook and save the new Module 8 assignment file to the Rowan folder on your desktop as BA132_LastName_CarLoans.xlsx<\/strong>, replacing \"LastName\" with your own last name. (Example: BA132_Hywater_Memo) It is a good idea to save your work periodically.<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Scenario:<\/strong> Each week you receive a worksheet filled with car loan data. To make it easier to analyze on a weekly, record a macro and change the worksheet look, calculate the monthly loan payment amount and identify which loans are leases. (Hint: Read through all the instructions first and practice going through the steps before starting the macro recording.)\r\n\"Screenshot<\/li>\r\n \t
    3. Record Macro:<\/strong> Open the spreadsheet and from the View tab or the Developer tab start a macro recording. Name the macro whatever you would like, add a short-cut key (optional), and write a description for it.\r\n

        5. Add in a new column to the right of the Interest Rate column and call it PMT.<\/li>\r\n \t
        6. Financial Function:<\/strong> In the new column use the PMT function and calculate the monthly payment amount for the first loan.
