Explanation:
In a three-tiered securitization structure, the interim cash flows are distributed sequentially, starting from the senior tranche. The mezzanine tranche receives its share of the cash flows after the senior tranche has been paid in full.
Given that the coupon rate for the senior tranche is 4% and the notional value is $100 million, the total interest payment to the senior tranche after one year is $4 million ($100 million * 4%).
The mezzanine tranche has a notional value of $40 million and a coupon rate of 6%. Therefore, the total interest payment to the mezzanine tranche after one year is $2.4 million ($40 million * 6%).
