Kansas Bank has a policy of limiting their loans to any single customer so that the maximum loss as a percent of capital will not exceed 20 percent for both secured and unsecured loans. The limit has been adopted under the assumption that if the unsecured loan is defaulted, there will be no recovery of interest or principal payments. For loans that are secured (collateralized), it is expected that 40 percent of interest and principal will be recovered in the event of default.

What is the concentration limit (as a percent of capital) for secured loans made by Kansas Bank? (NOTE: Recovery rate + Loss rate = 100%)
