| synner | what's wrong with A? |
| nchilds | No matter what the scenario, First National will be receiving a fixed loan income... However, the net amount will be less. |
| stefdunk | actually, the net amount on the fixed loan won't be less. it's a FIXED loan |
| surob | Good question |
| viannie | Loan income is fixed since loan interest is fixed. Interests paid to depositors is variable, hence rising rate, pays more interests to depositors. |
| zkhan87 | so they'd enter into a pay fixed swap |
| johntan1979 | Question already stated "fixed rate income"... |
| GBolt93 | Think he meant net of fixed income - expenses to depositors. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
