Subprime mortgages are O mortgages issued to borrowers with flawed credit histories. government-backed mortgages issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. mortgages issued to borrowers who fail to document that their incomes are high enough to afford their mortgages. mortgages which are bundled together by financial institutions and sold to investors.
Below you will find the Demand and Supply Curves for $250,000 bonds that mature in 18 years:
Qd = 400,000 – 2(P) Qs = 3(P) – 100,000
What is the current equilibrium interest rate in that bond market?
How would the price of the bond be affected by changing the going market interest rate? (Hint: Conduct a sensitivity analysis of price to changes in the going market interest rate for the bond. Assume that the bond will be called if and only if the going rate of interest falls below the coupon rate. That is an oversimplification, but assume it anyway for purposes of this problem.)
