Secondary Mortgage Market
- Example 19-2:
- Quoted Maturity = 30 Years
- Quoted Coupon Rate = 6% - 0.5% = 5.5%
| Amount | Maturity | Interest Rate | Weight | W x M | W x I |
| $500,000 | 30 | 7% | .5 | 15 | 3.5 |
| $200,000 | 29 | 6.5% | .2 | 5.8 | 1.3 |
| $300,000 | 28 | 6% | .3 | 8.4 | 1.8 |
| $1,000,000 | WAM = 29.2 | WAC = 6.6 |
