A hedge fund is considering making a 5-year $600,000, 9.5% APR, interest-only loan. They will get monthly interest payments and the entire principal at the end of 5 years. Before making the loan, it will cost the fund $20,000 for due diligence, and after making the loan, it will cost the fund $500 per month for monitoring.
