You have determined that the real risk-free interest rate is 3.0%, and this rate is expected to continue on into the future without any change. In addition, inflation is expected to be constant over the future at a rate of 3.0%. The default-risk premium is also expected to remain constant at a rate of 1.5%, and the liquidity-risk premium is very small for Ford bonds, only about 0.02%. The maturity-risk premium is dependent on how many years the bond has to maturity. The maturity-risk premiums are as follows:

The Green Mortgage Company has originated a pool containing 75 ten-year fixed interest rate mortgages with an average balance of $103,200 each. All mortgages in the pool carry a coupon of 12 percent. (For simplicity, assume that all mortgage payments are made annually at 12 percent interest.) Green would now like to sell the pool to FNMA. Required: Assuming a constant annual prepayment rate of 10 percent (for simplicity, assume that prepayments are based on the pool balance at the end of each year), what would be the price that Green should obtain on the date of issuance if market interest rates were (1) 11 percent? (2) 12 percent? (3) 9 percent? Assume that five years have passed since the date in (a). What will the pool factor be? If market interest rates are 12 percent, what price can Green obtain then? Instead of selling the pool of mortgages in (a), Green decides to securitize the mortgages by issuing 100 pass-through securities. The coupon rate will be 11.5 percent and the…
