Jan sold her house on December 31 and took a $5,000 mortgage as part of the payment. The 10-year mortgage has an 11% nominal interest rate, but it calls for semiannual payments beginning next June 30.

Will her interest income be the same next year?

  1. As the loan is amortized (paid off), the beginning balance, hence the interest charge, increases and the repayment of principal increases.
  2. As the loan is amortized (paid off), the beginning balance, hence the interest charge, declines and the repayment of principal increases.
  3. As the loan is amortized (paid off), the beginning balance, hence the interest charge, declines and the repayment of principal declines.
