Analyzing Loan Portfolio Strategies
A commercial bank is developing its lending strategy. One manager proposes focusing on a small number of large-value loans, which typically have a lower rate of return. Another manager advocates for issuing a large number of smaller-value loans, which individually offer a higher rate of return.
Using the principle that a lender's revenue is the product of the loan amount and its rate of return, analyze the financial trade-offs of each strategy. Explain how both strategies could potentially maximize the bank's total lending revenue.
