$277.61 is applies  to the principal balance of the second payment.

Explanation:

Loan is provided to purchase any asset and pay it back on easy installment with some interest amount yearly.

Use following formula to calculate monthly installment:

P = (PV x r) / ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n )

P = ( $150000 x 7.35%/12 ) / ( 1 - ( 1 + 7.35% / 12 )^-240

P  = 1194.669

1st payment

Payment = $1,194.67

Interest = 150,000 x 7.35/12 = $918.75

Principal Payment = $1,194.67 - $918.75 = $275.92

Outstanding balance = $150,000 - $275.92 = 149,724.08

2nd Payment

Payment = $1,194.67

Interest = 149,724.08 x 7.35/12 = $917.06

Principal Payment = $1,194.67 - $917.06 = $277.61
