INTEREST ON LOAN NEVER GOES TO THE BALANCE SHEET AS IT IS A REVENUE EXPENDITURE. IT WILL SHOWN AS AN EXPENSE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR AND DEBITED IN PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT BEFORE ARRIVING AT NET PROFIT.

Mohammed,
You are an idiot. Yes it does as interest payable. How do you pay for it? Obviously with cash. It therefore flows through the balance sheet. What state are you from so I can have them take away your cpa license. Chances are you don't have one.

Interest paid on a loan does not go directly on the balance sheet as correctly stated by Muscat and instead is seen as a line item on the profit and loss statement. Indirectly however, paid interest is a reduction of cash (cr entry) and owners' equity (dr entry) which obviously effects the balance sheet.
Unpaid accrued interest can however be seen on the balance sheet as a short-term liability. Accrued interest in the case of a term note represents interest unpaid from the last note payment to the ending date of the balance sheet. For example, if the last note payment was on 12/20/y0, the balance sheet would show 11/31th of the interest associated with the 01/20/y1 note payment in accrued interest.
So... be nice; both of your answers have a component that correctly answers the question.

What is the opposite of a fully amortizing loan?
Any loan where the loan balance is not paid off by fixed, regular payments. A balloon loan is a simple example. The loan comes due before the balance has been paid off. The outstanding balance is then paid in one lump sum. A fully amortizing loan is a loan with a monthly payment of sufficient size and a term long enough that the outstanding balance of the loan will be reduced (amortized) to zero. In other words, on the maturity date of the loan (the date you can stop making payments), there is no outstanding loan balance to be paid off. The loan has been paid in full. A portion of each monthly payment was used to pay interest on the outstanding balance. The remainder of each monthly payment was applied to the loan balance as a repayment of principal. There is no "opposite" of this. There are alternatives. A loan could be interest only -- where the entire monthly payment represents interest and there is no amount of it applied to the loan balance. As such, on the maturity date of the loan (the end of the loan term), the payoff balance due to the lender is identical to the original loan amount. There has been no amortization of the loan balance during the term of the loan. Another alternative is a loan based on 20 year amortization but with a 5 year term. In this case, the loan payment is established by the amount that would be required to fully amortize the loan over a 20 year period (down to a balance of zero). However, at the end of 5 years, the loan matures (the end of the term) and the remaining balance must be repaid. That payoff amount will be less than the original loan amount because some amortization has occurred, but is certainly greater than zero (which would have taken another 15 years to reach).
Why is more interest paid at the beginning of a loan period than at the end of the loan period?
Charging interest is the method by which a lender profits from loaning money to a borrower. The lender will set the terms of any loan to their advantage. They obviously want to get paid first and get paid the most. The balance of a loan is typically higher at the beginning of a loan, and interest will be charged on the balance. So as a person makes payments on the loan typically he/she will be making a payment consisting of part interest and part principal. As the person pays down the loan the interest that is calculated at the compounding period will be less because the principal amount has been reduced. For example, a person has a $1000 payment, at the beginning of the loan the payment may be broken down as ($900 interest and $100 principal), on the last payment of the loan the payment of $1000 may look like ($950 principal and $50 interest).

What is the monthly interest payment on 10000 dollar loan for 3 years at 5 percent interest per month?
Assuming that the loan principal is paid off in equal installments AND the monthly payment is to be kept the same, the average simple interest paid per month for the loan may be computed as follows: $10,000 principal balance at time 0 months $0 principal balance at time 36 months ($10,000 + $0) / 2 = $5,000 average balance $5,000 is average balance throughout the period of the loan $5,000 x 5% per month = approximately $250 per month. However, the amount of REAL interest is different throughout the life of the loan.
