After the first payment, the principle balance is $ 1,51,573.33
Working:
# 1 Interest for the first month = Beginning note value * Interest rate
= $ 1,52,000.00 * 14% *1/12
= $       1,773.33
# 2 First month's Installment = $       2,200.00
Less interest $       1,773.33
Principal repayment $           426.67
# 3 After the first payment, the principle balance
= Beginning principal balance - Reduction in principal from first month's installment payment
= $ 1,52,000.00 - $ 426.67
= $ 1,51,573.33
