Melton · Answer 1

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
