Answer #1

How much of the first month’s payment goes towards paying off the principal portion.

Answer: $327.59

Working

Formula for calculating principal portion of loan repayment is as follows;

Principal portion = Loan monthly installment – interest for the month

                                    = $399.99 – $72.397

                                    = $327.593

                                    = $327.59

Loan monthly installment = $399.99 (given in the problem)

Interest for the month: formula for calculating interest for the month is as follows;

Interest for the month          = (outstanding loan amount * interest rate) ÷ 12

                                                = ($21,719 * 4%) ÷ 12

                                                = $72.397
