Answer:

The answer is: $7,757.22 of the third month's payment will go toward the repayment of principal

Explanation:

Using the information given;

  • loan principal $100,000
  • 12 monthly payments of $9,456

We must first determine the APR, using an excel spreadsheet function:

=RATE(nper,pmt,pv) = RATE(12,-9456,100000) = 2% per month

Then we make an amortization table.

M   Beginning bce.    scheduled pmt    principal       interest          ending bce  

1        $100,000              $9,456             $7,456        $2,000            $92,544

2       $92,544                $9,456          $7,605.12      $1,850.88       $84,938.88

3       $84,938.88           $9,456          $7,757.22     $1,698.78        $77,181.66
