An investor has $40,000 to invest. He wants to diversify his portfolio by putting dividing the money among stocks, bonds and mutual funds. He has chosen one fund from each type in which to invest. Over the last 10 years the stocks have earned 9.75%, the bonds have earned 5.25% and the mutual fund has earned 7% interest. The investor expects that the funds will all continue to perform in the future similarly to how they have performed over the last ten years. Because he is willing to take some risk, the investor has decided that he will invest twice as much money in stocks as he will in bonds. How much should he invest in each account in order to earn an 8% return on his invest
An investor has $25,000 to invest. He wants to diversify his portfolio by putting dividing the money among stocks, bonds and mutual funds. He has chosen one fund from each type in which to invest.

Even though housing prices have been declining in many parts of the country, in Lara's neighborhood, they have been increasing steadily since Lara bought her home in 2006. Lara purchased her home in 2006 for
$120,000, and it steadily increased its value by $4100 a year. Let V represent the market value (in dollars) of her home; x, the length of time she has lived there (in years). Complete parts a through d below.
a. Complete the following table.
Year
V, Market value
2006
$4
2011
%24
2014
$4
b. Write a symbolic rule that expresses V in terms of x.
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.)
c. Determine the expected value of her home in 2016.
$ (Simplify your answer.)
d. In which year is the value of her home expected to reach $177,400?

- Assume the demand for a company's drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost $16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for $3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of $0.20. It costs $0.40 peryear to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardThe demand for MICHTEC's products is related to the state of the economy. If the economy is expanding next year (an above-normal growth in GNP), the company expects sales to be $90 million. If there is a recession next year (a decline in GNP), sales are expected to be $75 million. If next year is normal (a moderate growth in GNP), sales are expected to be $85 million. MICHTEC's economists have estimated the chances that the economy will be either expanding, normal, or in a recession next year at 0.3, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively. The expected annual sales is million. The standard deviation of annual sales is The coefficient of variation of annual sales is million.arrow_forwardThe demand for MICHTEC's products is related to the state of the economy.

- A building company plans to build a new warehouse. The cost of building the warehouse is an initial investment of 1500 thousand dollars, together with a further 250 thousand dollars at the end of each of the next two quarters. The building company will need to cover quarterly operating cost of 120 thousand dollars at the end of each of the next two quarters (first and second). After completion of the construction by the end of the second quarter, the warehouse will be sold for 2.5 million dollars. Assuming that the annual interest rate is 4% compounded annually, find: (1) The present value of the building costs; (2) The present value of the operating costs; (3) The present value of the revenue; and (4) The internal rate of return of the project. (5) Do you think the company should carry out this project? Give your reason(s).arrow_forwardHamed own a local gold market that currently has 2550625 subscriber in Instagram at a quarterly charge of R.O. 19.

- An electronics retailer offers an optional protection plan for a mobile phone it sells. Customers can choose to buy the protection plan for $100 and in case of an accident, the customer pays a $50 deductible and the retailer will cover the rest of the cost of that repair. The typical cost to the retailer is $200 per repair, and the plan covers a maximum of 3 repairs. Let X be the number of repairs a randomly chosen customer uses under the protection plan, and let F be the retailer's profit from one of these protection plans. Based on data from all of its customers, here are the probability distributions of X and F: Calculate the mean of X.arrow_forwardEven though housing prices have been declining in many parts of the country, in Lara's neighborhood, they have been increasing steadily since Lara bought her homein 2006.
