Find the amount applied to principle for the third month of a 4-year loan of $11,600 which charges 4.5 percent compounded monthly with monthly payments.
The amount applied to principle for the third month is
$
(Round to the nearest cent.)
The first step is to calculate the monthly payment on the loan. This is found using the PMT equation
Monthly payment = $ 264.5204
The amount applied to principle for the third month is $ 222.68

Using the monthly payment, we have to develop the amortization schedule of the loan for the first 3 months. This can be done in excel.
