Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate Monthly Interest Rate

The monthly interest rate is calculated by dividing the annual interest rate by 12. $$ r_{monthly} = \frac{r}{12} = \frac{0.052}{12} = 0.00433 $$

Step 2: Calculate Interest Payment for Payment Number 2

The interest payment is the remaining loan balance at the beginning of the month times the monthly interest rate. $$ Interest_{payment} = Remaining\_Loan\_Balance \times r_{monthly} = 25691.530 \times 0.00433 = 111.33 $$

Step 3: Calculate Principal Payment for Payment Number 2

The principal payment is the total monthly payment minus the interest payment. $$ Principal_{payment} = M - Interest_{payment} = 421.14 - 111.33 = 309.81 $$

Step 4: Update Loan Balance for Payment Number 2

The new loan balance is the remaining loan balance minus the principal payment. $$ New\_Loan\_Balance = Remaining\_Loan\_Balance - Principal_{payment} = 25691.530 - 309.81 = 25381.72 $$

Final Answer:

For payment number 2, the interest payment is $111.33, the principal payment is $309.81, and the new loan balance is $25381.72.
