The loan comparison report through December 2003 picks the adjustable rate loan as the best alternative whereas the report through December 2008 shows the fixed rate loan as the better alternative. This implies that if you intend to keep the loan for 10 years or longer the best alternative is the fixed rate alternative. Otherwise the adjustable rate loan is the better alternative in spite of the worst-case scenario. Further analysis shows that the actual breakeven of true interest rate occurs at August 2008. That is the desirable alternative switches from the adjustable rate loan to the fixed rate loan in August 2008. Note that under the assumption of worst-case scenario for the rate adjustments the periodic payment for the adjustable rate loan already exceeds that of the fixed rate loan on December 2003 as of the rate adjustment on January 2003 to be exact . If the objective were to minimize the periodic payment the fixed rate loan would have been more desirable as of December 2003. However all of the other criteria at that point still favor the adjustable rate loan.
