Inaddition, 25% of those that default and 1% of those that do not default are unemployed.Let D be the event that a randomly chosen loan customer will default on their loan andU be the event that a randomly chosen loan customer is unemployed.Write down the value P(D) and hence find P(D^c).
Question
A finance company discovers that 4% of their loan customers will default in their loan (theydo not pay back the loan) and the remaining loan customers do not default in their loan. Inaddition, 25% of those that default and 1% of those that do not default are unemployed.Let D be the event that a randomly chosen loan customer will default on their loan andU be the event that a randomly chosen loan customer is unemployed.Write down the value P(D) and hence find P(D^c).
Solution
The problem states that 4% of the loan customers will default on their loan. This is the probability of event D. So, P(D) = 0.04.
The event D^c is the complement of D, which means it is the event that a loan customer will not default on their loan. The sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement is always 1.
So, P(D^c) = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96.

Assume that there are two factors influencing the past default behaviour of borrowers; these being the debt to equity ratio and the sales to assets ratio. Based on past default (repayment) experience, the linear probability model is estimated as Zi = 0.5(D/Ei) - 0.25 (S/Ai). Assume that a prospective borrower has a D/E ratio of 0.9 and a sales to assets ratio of 1.5. What is the borrower’s probability of default? (0.5 marks)
