A one year consumer loan of $250,000 has a note rate of 5% and is valued at par on the balance sheet. The terms of the loan agreement are that in 6 months, the borrower must repay accrued interest to that point plus one-half of the principal. At the end of 12 months, the borrower repays remaining principal and accrued interest on the remaining balance. You fund this loan with a 6 month CD with an interest rate of 2% that pays interest at the end of 6 months when the instrument matures.
