Answer 1

Answer:

Principal payment =  $27,505.00  

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The principal repayment in year 1 = Annual payment - Interest payment in year 1

Interest payment in year = Interest rate × Principal Amount

                                          =8% × 164,000

                                         =  $13,120.00  

Principal payment = $40,635 - 13,120 =  $27,505.00  

Principal payment =  $27,505.00
