    The principal repaid in the second year will be $33,296.

    Explanation:

    Out of each 37,341.79 payment a part of it will be principal repayment and a part of it will be interest payment. When the first 100,000 is paid (0.059*100,000) = 5,900 is interest and (37,341-5,900) = 31,441 is principal repayment which means, that in the second year the principal remaining is (100,000-31,441) = 68,559. So the interest payment in the second year will be (0.059*68,559) = 4,045 and the principal repaid will be (37,341-4,045) = 33,296.
