Analyzing Loan Default Factors

A farmer takes out a loan to purchase a new, advanced irrigation system expected to increase crop yield by 50%. However, an unexpected regional drought, the worst in 30 years, occurs, and the irrigation system is insufficient to save the crops. Additionally, it is later discovered that the farmer diverted a portion of the loan funds to finance a personal vacation instead of purchasing the highest-spec irrigation system as planned. The farmer defaults on the loan. Identify the two distinct types of factors that contributed to this loan default and explain how each one influenced the outcome.
