What portion of the December 31, 2019, payment is applied to interest expense and principal? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

a.Interest expense

Principal

b.Principal balance

c.Interest expense

Principal

Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2018 = $80,000

Interest Expense = $80,000 * 8%
Interest Expense = $6,400

Annual Payment = $20,037

Principal Repaid = $20,037 - $6,400
Principal Repaid = $13,637

Answer b.

Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2019 = Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2018 - Principal Repaid
Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2019 = $80,000 - $13,637
Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2019 = $66,363

Answer c.

Principal Balance, Jan. 1, 2019 = $66,363

Interest Expense = $66,363 * 8%
Interest Expense = $5,309

Annual Payment = $20,037

Principal Repaid = $20,037 - $5,309
Principal Repaid = $14,725
