1- the total return generated by a particular property is 9% per year,
and it is possible to secure debt on this property at an interest rate of 8.5% per year. In this case, increasing leverage will increase the expected return to equity. True; increasing leverage will result in increasing the total return on equity investment by increasing risk premium on that investment. It can also however increase the risk of equity. 2- in order to achieve the constant amortization rate implied by its name, a constant-amortization mortgage (CAM) will always have the same monthly payment. False; in a constant amortization mortgage the principle will amortize at a constant rate meaning that each month in addition to interest on balance outstanding the borrower repays a constant fraction of L/E which causes a decreasing pattern of payments every month.
