1. Jacob (from Twilight) can obtain an 85 percent loan with an 8 percent interest rate and monthly payments. The loan is to be fully amortized over 25 years. Alternatively, he could obtain a 95 percent loan at an 8.5 percent rate with the same loan term. The borrower plans to own the property for the entire loan term.

a. What is the incremental cost of borrowing the additional funds? (Hint: the dollar amount of the loan doesn't affect the answer.)

b. How would your answer change if two points were charged on the 95 percent loan?

c. Would your answer to part (b) change if the borrower planned to own the property for only five years

a. The arithmetic average return and the geometric return.

b. The standard deviation of the return.

c. Now compute the quarterly Sharpe ratio for each. The Sharpe ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted return performance, defined as the risk premium divided by the volatility. Assume that the average quarterly return to Treasury Bonds during the period in question was 1.70%. Which city had the better Sharpe ratio.
