To record the second monthly payment.

4. Monthly interest will continue to decrease over the life of the loan because part of the principal is being repaid with each monthly payment.  Therefore, the next monthly balance will reduce.  It is with this monthly balance that the interest for the month is computed.  So, interest will continue to decrease.
