The single-monthly mortality rate (SMM) is equal to 0.003.
The mortgage balance for March is $250 million.
The scheduled principal payment is $3 million in March, and $3 million in April.
We are assuming the same SMM? Should'nt the SMM increase based on the number of months seasoning and PSA. Unless 30 months are already over, we cannot use the same SMM for march and april. Right?作者: RMontgomery 时间: 2011-7-13 15:23

Technically we should not. But there is no other information provided in the question.
