Answer:
$117,850.71
Explanation:
the loan = $168,500 x 70% = $117,950
assuming that no payment has been made yet, the interest portion of the monthly payment = $117,950 x 5.25% x 1/12 = $516.03
the loan's principal will decrease by = $651.32 - $516.03 = $99.29
the loan's principal balance after the first payment = $117,950 - $99.29 = $117,850.71
