highest rate this loan
could adjust to in year 2?
a. 3.625%
b. 5.250%
c. 5.625%
d. 9.250%
C - Start Rate/Initial Rate = 4.375% - 2.000% Periodic Rate Cap
- 6.000%Lifetime Rate Cap.
Start Rate/Initial Rate = 4.375% + 6.000% Life Cap = 10.375% Maximum Rate
- correct answer ✔2. A lender has offered a borrower a 1 year ARM. The

What is the maximum interest rate this 1 year ARM could adjust to?
a. 6.000%
b. 8.375%
c. 10.375%
d. 11.375%
A - Initial Start Rate = 3.750% - Initial Rate Cap = 3.000%
- Periodic Rate Cap = 2.000%
- Lifetime Rate Cap = 6.000%
Initial Start Rate 3.750% + Initial Rate Cap 3.000% = 6.750% maximum rate
allowed at first adjustment.
First adjustment index rate = 3.000%
+ Margin 2.500% =
Fully Indexed Rate at 1st adjustment 5.500%
Fully Indexed Rate is below the maximum Initial rate cap of 6.375%. Borrower
gets 5.500% - correct answer ✔The borrower has applied for a 5-1 ARM with

B - 5th Year Rate = 7.750% - 2.000% Periodic Rate Cap
- 6.000% Lifetime Rate Cap
8th Year Index is 2.500% + 2.000% Margin = 4.500% Fully Indexed Rate
The maximum this 1-year ARM could adjust down is 2.000% from the current
rate of
7.750% (5th year rate). 7.750% (5th year rate)

at the time of
adjustment?
a. 4.500%
b. 5.750%
c. 7.000%
, d. 7.750%
A - Start Rate/Initial Rate = 3.875% - 1.000% Periodic Rate
- 5.000% Lifetime Rate Cap
Index at first adjustment (year 2) 4.500% + 1.000% margin = 6.500% Fully
Indexed Rate
for year 2.
The maximum this 1-year ARM could adjust up is 1.00% from the current rate
of
3.875%% (1st year rate). 3.875% (1st year rate)
