Answer:

The correct answer is b) The first tranche has the highest prepayment risk.

Explanation:

A collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) is a type of security backed by mortgage. It is comprised of a pool of mortgages that are bundled together and sold as an investment. Prepayment risk is the risk of loss of interest income due to early repayment of the principal by the borrower.

In the given situation, there are three tranches. The first tranche has the highest prepayment risk because it is receiving principal at the earliest. Hence, there is more of a chance of this principal being returned early and the CMO holder losing out on potential interest. Therefore, the prepayment risk of the first tranche is the highest among all three tranches.

slader Each month Leo must make copies of a budget report. When he uses both the large and the small copier, the job takes 30 mi
storchak [24]

Based on the time it takes Leo when he uses two machines, the length of time it will take if the large copier is broken is <u>75 minutes. </u>

<h3>How long will it take if the large copier is broken?</h3><h3 />

This can be found by the formula:

= 1 / ( (1 / time taken with both copiers) - (1 / time taken with large copier) )

Solving gives:

= 1 / ( ( 1 / 30) - (1 / 50))

= 1 / (1 / 75)

= 75 minutes
