I think you need to print a "report header" then the values of the 4 columns on each row, one row per year. It also tells you to use a function you wrote previously.

I made the report header in the printHeaderInformation function what I don't understand is the instructions to create the table for the amortization

I made the report header in the printHeaderInformation function what I don't understand is the instructions to create the table for the amortization

That statement makes no sense. You wrote all that code and don't know how to output the data from it? I guess you need to give a detailed explanation of your confusion.
