Working

First payment date

Interest expenses = 550,000 x 6% x 1/12 = 2,750

Cash payment = 3,940.37

Principal amortization = 3,940.37 - 2,750 = 1,190.37

Carrying value = 550,000 - 1,190.37 = 548,809.63

Second payment date

Interest expenses = 548,809.63 x 6% x 1/12 = 2,744.05

Cash payment = 3,940.37

Principal amortization = 3,940.37 - 2,744.05 = 1,196.32

Carrying value = 548,809.63 - 1,196.32 = 547,613.31
