As per rules I am answering the first 4 subparts of the
question
1: Dollar amount of each payment = 333.06
2: Interest in payment 1 = 150 (30000*6%/12)
3: Principal in payment 1 = 183.06 (333.06-150)
4: I The portion of the payment that is applied to interest declines, while the portion of the payment that is applied to principal increases.
(Loan outstanding decreases which results in lesser interest)
