You are the manager of a bank. You need to decide whether to approve a 10-year loan application from a 25 year old student to finance her MBA. The loan will yield a loss of $250 per year to the bank for the duration of the loan. After 10 years, the student will likely buy other products and therefore she will yield a profit of $500 per year until she is 65. After age 65, she will yield a profit of $1,000 per year until she is 85, when she will stop being a customer. The likelihood that she stops being a customer after she repays her MBA loan is 2% each year. The discount rate that the bank uses is 7% per year. Would you approve the loan? Please explain with numerical support.
