Business scenario

Imagine you are a loan officer at a bank. Your job is to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers. To make an informed decision, you need to consider a variety of factors, such as the borrower’s income, employment history, and credit score. A high credit score indicates a lower risk of the borrower defaulting on the loan, while a low credit score indicates a higher risk.

In this scenario, the risk score would be a numerical value that summarizes the overall creditworthiness of the borrower. The bank would have a set of criteria for calculating the risk score, and this score would be used to determine whether or not to approve the loan, and if so, what interest rate to charge.

By calculating risk scores, the bank can make more informed lending decisions. This can help to protect the bank from financial losses and ensure that loans are only made to borrowers who are likely to repay them.

Use the USMF company for the exercises in this lab.
