The American Bank lends $1,000 to WePro and they want you to share the risk in case WePro fails to pay back. If you give the American Bank $1,000, you will get a fixed monthly payment worth 10% of $1,000 for the duration of the contract-as long as WePro doesn't default. However, if WePro defaults on its debt, you will have to pay $1,000 to the American Bank and the contract is terminated. What type of contract is this?
