   Capital

   The institution's capital allocation represents the institution's highest possible equity in a particular loan product. Capital is allocated to loans based on each instrument's average balance. The capital allocation may vary based on products.

   Expense Assumptions

   This setting ties an expense set to the product being created. When the product is assigned to a loan instrument, the row in the expense set that corresponds to the loan amount of the instrument determines the loan's origination expense and servicing fees.

   Loan Loss

   You can create loan loss sets on Setup > Assumptions > Loan Applications > Loan Losses. This setting ties a loan loss set to the product being created.

   Tax (Tax Exempt Flag)

   When this setting is selected, a Tax Exempt check box is added to the Pricing Opportunity page's Status and Interest Options form for the affected loan products.

   ROE (Loan ROE Target Percentage)

   When setting up a new instrument on the Pricing Opportunity page, the application provides guidance if the instrument's settings do not result in an ROE at or above this target.

   Note: Loan officers can modify the percentage in the Loan Target ROE field when pricing individual loans if the Edit Loan Target ROE option is set to Yes on the Setup > Assumptions > Common.

   Months to Start

   This field helps you when you are modeling the permanent phase of a construction-to-permanent deal. This field appears when you are pricing a loan based on a product type that is set up to use this option. The value that you enter represents the construction period.

   Payment Type

   You have the following options:

   • Amortizing
   • Construction
   • Land Development
   • Line of Credit (LOC)
   • Periodic Pay (equal principal pay-down amounts)
   • Single Pay (entire balance due at maturity)

   You must use the Construction and Land Development types in isolation. However, you can use the Amortizing, LOC, Periodic Pay, and Single Pay types individually or together. When you select multiple types, they appear as selectable choices in the Basic Information loan input form.

   Short Term Unfunded Capital Rate

   If the expected life of the loan is less than 12 months, enter a percentage representing the allocation of capital for unused portions of lines of credit, construction, or development loans.

   Long Term Unfunded Capital Rate

   If the expected life of the loan is 12 months or greater, you can enter a percentage representing the allocation of capital for unused portions of lines of credit, construction, or development loans.

   Enabled
