The amount that is applied to the Principal is $4,078, while the new loan balance is 145,922.

Explanation:

First loan payment = $13,078

First interest payment = $150,000 * 6% = $9,000

First principal payment = First loan payment - First interest payment = $13,078 - $9,000 = $4,078

New loan balance = Total loan amount - First principal payment = $150,000 - $4,078 = 145,922

Therefore, the amount that is applied to the Principal is $4,078, while the new loan balance is 145,922.
