Howdy folks!

I hope you're all doing well. I've searched on the interwebs and on here but have yet to find the answer we need. Here is my scenario (and i'll include sample data) too: Disneyland has a loan via a developer (Bob) that is compounded quarterly. There is NO payment schedule. NO minimum payments. Disneyland just makes payments when they can. Of course, if Disneyland doesn't keep up with the interest, they're going to be paying tons more than they should.

What we want to know is how to create a running balance sheet for Disneyland. In other words, if Disneyland calls us up and says "Hey, how much do we owe on this 40-year compound interest loan TODAY?" We want to be able to give them an accurate balance for that quarter.

This isn't an interest-bearing account where the compounded interest is good; it's a loan where the compounded interest is going to hurt Disneyland if they fail to keep up with the accruing interest. Hopefully my scenario makes sense (names were changed to protect the innocent). Holler if you need more details. THANKS for looking and trying. :)

Starting balance / original loan amountIssuance DateInterest Rate...Compounded...Maturity Date
$630,000.002/11/2013 (first portion was pro-rated interest due $13,650) see attached graphic10%Quarterly. After 1st pro-rated interest calculation, quarters start on 5/1/2013. So, next quarters would be 8/1/2013, 11/1/2013, 2/1/2014, and so on.6/30/2053

As you can see from the included image, Disneyland made *NO* payments for at least the first four quarters after the loan was issued. So, the interest kept piling up and outstanding amount keeps increasing.

But we did get a few payments from them in later years. All very random amounts. We want to make sure that we're accounting for the compounded interest correctly after inserting the payments into the running balance sheet.

What we want to do is get an accurate balance sheet that would show us the current balance if they called us and asked.
