Answer:

The second option ,$ 352.95  is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the home is the list price of $89,000 plus the sales tax of 4.2%

total cost=$89,000+($89,000*4.2%)=$92,738

loan amount=total cost-down payment=92738

-3000=$89738

APR is 4.75% since they have an excellent credit score

interest for first month=89738

*4.75%/12=$ 355.21  

Principal payment in first month=total payment-interest=925.67- 355.21 =$570.46

principal left after first payment=$89,738

-$570.46=$89,167.54  

second month interest payment= 89,167.54*4.75%/12=$ 352.95

The correct option is $ 352.95  which is the second option
