People choose among different credit options that have different costs. Lenders approve or deny applications for loans based on an evaluation of the borrower’s past credit history and expected ability to pay in the future. Higher-risk borrowers are charged higher interest rates; lower risk borrowers are charged lower interest rates. STANDARDS

Financial investment is the purchase of financial assets to increase income or wealth in the future. People who save have many choices when making financial investments because these investments have different risks and expected rates of return. Investments with higher expected rates of return tend to have greater risk. Diversification of investment among a number of choices can lower investment risk. STANDARDS
