Summary:碩士 === 銘傳大學 === 管理研究所 === 97 === Commercial loan borrowers meet random cash needs via three-period loans from the bank, but fluctuations in interest rates may justify paying off some outstanding loans before they mature. The objective is to minimize the expected present value of the interest and prepayment penalties paid to the bank subject to a liquidity constraint.
