A mortgage 105m is a loan that a person makes to purchase a house. Table 19.11 provides a list of the mortgage interest rate for several different years and the rate of inflation for each of those years. In which years would it have been better to be a person borrowing money from a bank to buy a home? In which years would it have been better to be a bank lending money?
Calculate the equity each of these people has in his or her home: Fred just bought a house for 200,000 by putting 10 as a down payment and borrowing the rest from the bank. Freda bought a house for 150,000 in cash, but if she were to sell it now, it would sell for 250,000. Frank bought a house for 100,000. He put 20 down and borrowed the rest from the bank. However, the value of the house has now increased to 160,000 and he has paid off 20,000 of the bank loan.

Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that yield an expected rate of return of 25 percent or more. But suppose there are $10 billion of investment projects yielding expected returns of between 20 and 25 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 15 and 20 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 10 and 15 percent; and so forth. a. Cumulate these data and present them graphically using the graph below, putting the expected rate of return (and the real interes rate) on the vertical axis and the amount of investment on the horizontal axis.

Could you expnad on how you got the equilibrium interest rate value? i don't get 0.065 when is solve the euqation 900 = 50/(1+i) + 50/(i+1)^2 + 1000/(1+i)^2. Also, my answer from plugging into the equation i part a. to find the demand and supply at YTM = 0.05, doesn't match using the same equation to get the answer?
