<span>By renting a home instead of purchasing one, you are paying someone else's mortgage every month and getting nothing in return. While you are gaining a home to live in for the short term, in the long term you will gain nothing.

Answer:
D) AIG
Explanation:
We went back in time to 2008 and we are in the middle of the subprime mortgage crisis. This is an example of how mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt obligations worked.
The problem with this scenario is that in order for every company involved to be able to make a profit, the mortgages' interest rates skyrocketed which made it harder for families to pay back their loans. This eventually made the families lose their houses and that was the end to the housing bubble and the whole economy collapsed.

E. have a sinking fund provision
Explanation:
Callable bonds are the one wherein the issuer/borrower has an option to redeem the bonds anytime after an initial stipulated period. In case of such bonds, if the issuer decides to redeem the bonds, the holders have to accept the redemption value.
Usually, when market rate of interest on such bonds falls below the coupon rate of such bonds, the issuer redeems such bonds. Thus, such bonds are beneficial to the issuer.
Call protection refers to the period within which such bonds cannot be called or redeemed.
Sinking fund provision refers to transferring a portion of money during the duration of such callable bonds to a separate reserve known as sinking fund, which is created for the purpose of redemption of funds. So when such bonds are to be called, the total money transferred to sinking fund reserve would be raised and used for payment to bondholders.
Creation of such a reserve helps the issuer avoid the pressure of lump sum payment as periodically funds are set aside for the purpose of redemption.
