What type of note reduces the bank's risk of changing interest rates?

  1. Adjustable rate note

  2. Fixed rate note

  3. Graduated payment note

  4. Balloon payment note

The correct answer is: Adjustable rate note

An adjustable rate note reduces the bank's risk of changing interest rates because the interest rate on the loan can fluctuate with market conditions, rather than being fixed at one rate. This allows the bank to more easily adjust to changes in the economy and mitigate risk. The other options, fixed rate note, graduated payment note, and balloon payment note, all have fixed interest rates that do not change based on market conditions.
