Consider a 30-year, two-step mortgage for
$275,000. The initial interest rate is 3.5 percent, but
the loan contract calls for a rate adjustment at the end of year
5. The new rate will be 2 percentage points above the
10-year Treasury bond yield. The interest rate is capped
at 5 percentage points above the initial interest
rate. If the T-bond yield is 5.5% at the time of the
adjustment, what will the payments be for the last 25 years of this
loan?
