Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Tightening monetary policy or curbing money supply in an economy is a move by Federal Reserve to control inflation or bring down over-heated economic growth.

Money supply is curbed by increasing short-term interest rates, thereby increasing cost of borrowing and making borrowing less attractive to public. This increase in short-term rates, also called Federal fund rates are usually greater than long-term interest rates prevailing in the market.

A collateralized mortgage obligation pays a 2% coupon rate on the first tranche plus any prepayments until its $50 million par v
Sloan [31]

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.

aliya0001 [1]

( 29 days in November + 31 Days in December)

3. On 2019:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of  days in a year)
