Cash flows for MBS/ABS amortizing loan securities consist of three components:

  • Scheduled Principal Repayment. Eagle Accounting uses the Bond Market standard formula for MBS to calculate the Scheduled Principal Repayments.

  • Interest. Eagle Accounting calculates the Interest component based on the assumed current face for each coupon period, against the current most applicable rate.
