Prepayment penalties? More like 'prepayment pain-alties'! Lenders are really squeezing every last penny out of these borrowers, aren't they?

Okay, let me think this through. If market rates are lower, the borrower has to make up the difference to keep the lender happy. Sounds like a win-win for the lender!

Hmm, interesting. So the lender wants to be compensated for any potential loss of interest when the borrower pays off the loan early. Gotta love those prepayment penalties!

Aha! The correct answer is B. When the prevailing market interest rates are greater than the rate on the loan being repaid, the borrower has to make up the interest rate differential to keep the lender 'made whole'.

I disagree, I believe the answer is B. The borrower has to make up the interest rate differential when prevailing market interest rates are greater than the rate on the loan being repaid.
