Develop a Loan Calculator (as a Java standalone application) to calculate and display the monthly payment for a loan. The user will be asked to enter the loan amount, the interest rate, and the number of payments. The formula used for such a calculation is:
payment=loanAmount*(((interestRate/(12.0)))/((1-(1+interestRate/(12.0))^(-numberOfPayments) ) ))
For example, for a loan amount of $225,000 with the APR 10% and 360 payments, the monthly payment is:

payment=225000*(((10/(12.0)))/((1.0-(1.0+10/(12.0))^(-360) ) ))


Payment, loan amount, APR, 12.0, and 1.0 are real numbers; whereas N=number of payments is an integer. If you wish to use other formulas, please feel free to use them.

Java Hints:
System.out.print("2 to the power of 3 is: ");
System.out.println(Math.pow(2.0, 3.0)); // Displays: 2 to the power of 3 is: 8.0
Application Requirements
Ask the user for the loan amount, interest rate and number of payments.
Remind the user the numeric values must be greater than 0.
Display a header for your application.
Use the Scanner class for input, and use System.out.print or System.out.println for output.
Assignment Requirements
Write pseudo-code in English showing the steps to solve the problem (detailed enough for someone else to write the code based on this algorithm, but not including “setup” like import statements or variable declarions).
Prepare a test table with expected results and actual results, in the following format:
Test Number Input Variable Values Expected Results (manually calculated) Actual Results (from running the program)
Loan Amount APR Number of Payments
1
2
3
Use as many tests as you need to check normal cases (like the above example) and boundary conditions (like 1 payment, or 0% APR).
Run the application twice, and provide screen shots of both runs.
Run it once using command-line Java (javac to compile, and java to run). Your screen shot should show both compilation and execution. If your computer cannot find the javac or java commands, see the lecture slides explaining how to set the path for Java.
Run it again using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The one used in class will be Eclipse. Provide a screen shot of the console output. See the lecture slides explaining how to download and install Eclipse.
Turn in a Word or PDF document with pseudo-code and test results, screen shots of runs, and the java code you wrote (NOT the .class file) according to the following format.
You will be uploading two .zip files for each assignment. The first .zip file will contain all the files required for the assignment (design document, test results, screen shot of runs, and source code and will be named: LastNameFirstName_AssignmentX_Complete. The second .zip file will only contain the .java files and will be named: LastNameFirstName_AssignmentX_Moss. This .zip will not have any folders in it – only .java files.
Here’s an example for Assignment 1:
