Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Try adding the below once the workbook is opened.

Try...

Code:
xExcelApp.ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized

Or, alternatively

Code:
xWb.Windows(1).WindowState = xlMaximized

Hope this helps!
