- The Loan Chief Lite - Program Overview
-
- Loan calculating has never been this easy! Loan Chief is a financial
- software program designed with ease and flexibility in mind. It comes
- complete with a variety of loan tools for calculating Loan Amortization
- Schedules, Loan Charts and Loan Calculators for solving for missing
- values. Each financial tool contains a variety of options to allow
- maximum flexibility.
-
- The Loan Amortization tool allows variable payments, interest rates and
- compounding methods. Professional schedules can be generated with
- monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual detail. Special options are
- available to illustrate the savings incurred with an early payoff of a
- loan. Several predefined acceleration methods are available in addition
- to a variable payment which allows optimum flexibility. Accelerated
- schedules can be illustrated side by side with the original schedule.
- Another special option is the ability to show tax savings with
- mortgages.
-
- The Loan Chart tool produces a chart of loan values based on the
- criteria you select. You select the type of loan values you want
- computed--it may be loan payments, loan principal amounts, months in a
- loan or the interest rate. Once you choose what you want to solve for,
- you enter one of the remaining loan values as a constant and the other
- two as a range of values. A chart is produced solving for all loan
- values specified in the ranges.
-
- Loan Chief is a menu driven program that also contains an on-line manual
- and individual help for each input to allow the user to easily navigate
- and understand the program. Configuration options are available for
- selecting screen colors and printers.
-
- The Loan Chief Professional
-
- The following is a list of features found in the "Professional" version
- of the Loan Chief which are not found in the "Lite" version.
-
- * Contains the ability to add a client name to the schedule.
- * Contains the ability to add an agent name to the schedule.
- * Contains the ability to add 3 permanent header lines and 3 permanent
- footer lines. These can be used for company name, address, phone
- number or anything.
- * Contains the ability to add additional footnotes to appear on all
- pages or just on the last page of a schedule.
- * Contains the ability to turn bolding on or off for schedule totals,
- headers and footers.
- * Contains an enhanced filing system where information can be saved for
- multiple clients.
- * Contains the ability to set defaults for the schedule printing
- options. These include the "Print Destination", "Schedule Detail",
- "Yearly Basis", "Cumulative Values", "Cumulative Totals", "Dollar
- Values", "Date Format" and "Sequence Column". Your preferred setting
- of these options can be set and will be saved so that these options
- are the default options every time that the program is run.
- * Contains the ability to create loan summary pages.
- * Contains the ability to specify the location (DOS PATH) for the
- support files which include the Printer Definition File, On-Line
- Manual and Saved Client Information.
- * Contains the ability to turn sound effects on or off.
