Analyzing Inequality in a Credit Market with Exclusion

Consider an economy with one lender and five potential borrowers. Two of these borrowers are unable to secure a loan and thus earn zero income. The remaining three borrowers each receive a loan for a project that generates a positive return. Describe, step-by-step, the process you would follow to calculate the Gini coefficient for this six-person economy. In your explanation, analyze how the exclusion of two borrowers specifically affects the components of the Gini calculation compared to a situation where all five borrowers receive loans.
