    The correct option is $27,285.

    Explanation:

    Annual interest = $168,000*8%

    annual interest = $13,440.00

    Annual repayment=$40,725.00

    Principal repayment=Annual repayment-interest repayment

    principal repayment=$40,725.00-$13,440.00

    principal repayment=$ 27,285.00

    The correct option is last option.

    The first option is wrong because it is the interest repayment, not principal repayment.

    The third option is also wrong because it comprises both interest and principal repayments

    The option is $37,467 does not feature in the computation in anyway

    Principal paid = $27,285

    Explanation:

    The loan repayment is structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan and the accrued interest. This is called amortization.

    The amount of principal = Annual installment - interest due

    Annual installment = $40,725

    Interest due = interest rate * principal amount

    = 8% * 168,000 = $13,440

    The amount of principal = $40,725 - $13,440

    = $27,285
