Explanation:
This question involves a securitization structure with credit card receivables. The key points are:
Structure Hierarchy: The tranches are paid in order of seniority:
Prepayment Amount: USD 300 million in principal prepayments
Payment Waterfall: In securitization structures, prepayments follow a sequential payment structure where senior tranches are paid first before junior tranches receive any principal.
Calculation:
The correct answer is A. USD 0 million because in sequential payment structures, junior tranches only receive principal payments after all more senior tranches have been fully paid.
