    Tony will pay interest of $6.50 as part of the first loan payment.

    Explanation:

    Amount of Loan = $1300

    Annual Interest = 6%

    Monthly interest rate = 6% / 12 = 0.5%

    Monthly Loan Payment = $57.62

    Monthly installment is compromised of the interest payment on the due balance and the principal payment.

    Interest payment in first installment = $1300 x 0.5%

    Interest payment in first installment = $6.50

    Principal portion of first installment = $57.62 - $6.50

    Principal portion of first installment = $51.12
