Assume:
The firm needs to raise $1 million, henceforth referred
to simply as $1;
Lenders’ required rate of return is 5%;
Everyone agrees that the firm has a profitable project to
finance;
Only the firm (the borrower) will be able to observe how
profitable the project turns out to be.

Lender’s Problem
The investor would like to set a face value on the loan, f,
(principal + interest) that will
(a) allow him to meet the required rate of return of 5%, and
(b) will somehow induce the borrower to repay the loan if
he can.
V: $1 $1.4
Return to firm: 0 V–f
Return to lender: γV f

How do we know that diversification
can solve this problem?
Suppose the bank makes two loans, $1 million each.
Payoff
2F - 2D = 1.18875*2 – 2.1875 =
