Consider a mortgage example to nance the purchase of a house or flat. You may use a real example or create a ctitious one. Search for dierent types of mortgages currently on oer by banks or building companies. Pick one xed rate and one floating rate mortgage as examples for detailed study.

Explain the dierences and similarities of the two mortgage types. Set up and compare the repayment schedules for both mortgages over the same time horizon. Make use of the mathematical notation and dierent compound interest functions introduced in the lectures. Try to include dierent scenarios for a time-dependent interest rate (piecewise constant in time or using stochastic simulation). Discuss advantages and disadvantages, similarities and dierences of both repayment schedules. You may use MATLAB, Excel or other computing tools. Please do explain how you get the results by writing the formulas which you are using and use gures or tables to show results, but do not include code listings or raw spreadsheets.
