Which of the following types of mortgages would be most advantageous to have on your house if you expected the annual rate of inflation would be higher than most people thought? a. reverse annuity mortgage
b. interest-only mortgage
c. adjustable-rate mortgage
d. fixed-rate mortgage

d. fixed-rate mortgage

Explanation:

Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.

Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.

On a related note, when the level of inflation is low in a particular country; their current account balance would be high. However, when the level of inflation is high; it results in low growth and as such increases the home country's current account balance, other things being equal (ceteris paribus).

Hence, if you anticipate a higher annual rate of inflation than most people thought, the fixed-rate mortgage would be most advantageous to have on your house because the interest is fixed or constant over the life of the mortgage loan.

A fixed-rate mortgage can be defined as an installment or fully amortizing mortgage loan that has a fixed (constant) interest rate that doesn't change throughout the entire duration of the loan.

This ultimately implies that, an equal amount of money is paid as principal and interest throughout the life of the mortgage loan.
