Historically foreclosure was a last resort for individuals that own homes. However, in some states people can voluntarily give u

p their home to their mortgage lender and escape from any further potential liability to continue to pay the mortgage. This in particular is common in situations where the home is worth significantly less than what is remaining on the mortgage. Should this be allowed or should people still have to pay the difference between what their lender is able to get for the home if they foreclose on it and what was remaining on the mortgage?

Hello, yes it's actually common for people to give up their home to avoid further payment only if their lender agrees and allows that to happen. But of course, the remaining balance (the difference of the house value and what's left of the mortgage) must be paid. Walking away from an underwater mortgage can seriously affect that person's financial future and by extent his/her relationship with the community. His/Her credit score will go down with this, it may be difficult for him/her to qualify for another mortgage in the future. Another reason is that - in most states, it is completely legal for lenders to go after the difference (deficiency) because technically they own that and have rights to it.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Note: First of all, this question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to calculate this question. However, I have found the similar question on the internet with complete data given. Additionally, I have shared that data as well in the attachment below for your convenience, Thanks.

Solution:

SD = Standard Deviation

Using utility function, E(R) = Rp - 0.005 x A x SD^{2} = 1.34 - 0.005 x 3x 4.06^{2}

Using utility function, E(R) = 1.093%

If the weight in the risky portfolio is let's say, "a" then,

weight in the risk-free asset = 1 - a

So,

E(R) = a x Rp + (1 - a) x Rf

1.093% = a x 1.34% + (1 - a) x 0.50%

Solving for "a"

a = 70.56% - weight in risky portfolio

and 1 - a = 29.44% - weight in risk-free asset.

Similarly, if you want a return of 1.10%,

we can follow the above steps and get

1.1% = a x 1.34% + (1 - a) x 0.5%

Weight in risky portfolio,

a = 71.43%

weight in risk-free asset,

1 - a = 28.57%

OLga [1]

There are several first mover advantages including:

-Brand recognition: better chance of being recognized if you were the first to do something

- Economies of Scale: learn how to perfect and grown in the market before other competitors come along

-Switching costs: when customers are established with the first brand they are less likely to want to spend the money to switch to a new competitor
