Lender's Expected Payoff from a Risky Loan
When lending is risky, a lender's expected payoff is calculated by subtracting the loan's principal amount () from the expected repayment. The expected repayment is determined by multiplying the total amount due upon successful repayment, , by the probability of that repayment occurring. The formula is expressed as: .

A decade ago, the dominant ride-sharing company, 'RideFast,' was forced by regulators to open its driver-matching technology to competitors. In the years that followed, a new entrant, 'GoDrive,' leveraged this access and its own innovations to capture 80% of the market, leading to new regulatory scrutiny. What does this sequence of events primarily illustrate about the nature of competition policy?
A bank provides a loan to an entrepreneur to expand their existing, stable catering business. However, the entrepreneur secretly considers using the funds to launch a risky, unproven food truck venture instead. Why does this situation represent a fundamental conflict of interest in a lending relationship?

A microfinance institution provides a loan to a farmer specifically for purchasing premium, drought-resistant seeds. Once the funds are given, the institution cannot easily confirm whether the farmer bought the specified seeds or opted for cheaper, standard seeds, potentially using the remaining funds for other purposes. If a drought leads to crop failure and the farmer defaults, what is the fundamental issue this situation highlights for the lender?
A credit union provides a loan to a farmer to purchase a new, reliable tractor for harvesting crops.

A microfinance institution is considering two different loan applications, each for $5,000.
- Loan Alpha offers a 15% interest rate, but the borrower has a profile that suggests an 85% probability of full repayment.
- Loan Beta offers a 10% interest rate, and this borrower's profile suggests a 95% probability of full repayment.
Assuming the institution's primary goal is to maximize its expected monetary return, which loan should it approve and why?

A bank is considering two potential loan structures for a $1,000 principal amount. The bank's expected payoff will be identical whether it offers the loan with a 20% interest rate and an 80% probability of repayment, or with a 10% interest rate and a 90% probability of repayment.
A commercial bank lends $20,000 to a startup at an 8% interest rate. The bank assesses the probability of full repayment to be 90%. The bank's expected payoff from this loan is $____. (Please provide your answer as a whole number without currency symbols or commas).
A lender is calculating the expected payoff from a risky loan. Match each mathematical component of the calculation with its correct conceptual description. In these expressions, 'L' is the loan principal and 'r' is the interest rate.
Evaluating Lending Strategies
A financial analyst is calculating a lender's expected payoff from a loan where there is a risk of default. Arrange the following steps into the correct logical sequence for this calculation.
A financial institution offers a $20,000 loan at a 10% interest rate, with an initial assessment that the borrower has a 95% probability of full repayment. After a new credit report becomes available, the institution revises the probability of repayment down to 90%. To achieve the exact same expected monetary payoff as under the initial assessment, what new interest rate must the institution charge?
