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.
