Wells Fargo issues a CMBS. The mortgage pool consists of interest only loans, with a total loan amount of $15 million. Assume the mortgage rate in the pool is 11%, the mortgages are annually compounded, and the loan maturity is 4 years. There are three tranches in the CMBS: 1. Tranche A, with an amount of $10 million at 8% coupon rate, 2. Tranche B, $3 million at 10% coupon rate, 3. the residual tranche, with $2 million. The maturity of the MBS is 4 years.
