Answer:
Explanation:
The interest expense would be
= Borrowing amount × annual rate of interest
= $80,000 × 8%
= $6,400
And, the principal would be
= Annual payment - interest expense
= $20,037 - $6,400
= $13,637
The principal balance on January 1, 2019 would be
= Borrowed amount - principal repaid amount
= $80,000 - $13,637
= $66,363
The interest expense would be
= Borrowing amount of 2019 × annual rate of interest
= $66,363 × 8%
= $5,309
And, the principal would be
= Annual payment - interest expense
= $20,037 - $5,309
= $14,728
