    5. [4 points] Compute the periodic payment in cell B7 based on the balance to pay, interest rate, years, and payment per year.
    6. [1 point] Compute the total of all payments in B8 by multiplying the periodic payment by the total number of payments.

    8. [3 points] Change the values as follows
      Cell New value
