At the end of 2009, right after the great recession of 2008-2009, business partners Mario and Luigi sold their plumbing business and retired. Each of them received $1,000,000 net from the sale. Mario holds an undergaduate business degree and understands risk, return, and divesification. He decides to invest his 1M$ in SPY ETF (essentially a stock that tracks the S&P 500 index performance). Luigi comes from a low income family and could not afford to go to college. He doesn't understand finance and he fears risk, so he decides to put his money in a bank savings account. The average S&P500 annual return from 2010 to 2019 has been 11.3%, the average annual return on a standard savings account has been 0.1% over the last 10 years. What is the difference in FV value (end of 2019) between Mario and Luigi investment holdings?
You have $5000 to invest for 1 year. Fund A has an estimated 4% annual return, and Fund B has an
estimated 10% annual return.
Fund A is more stable, and preferred among investors with low risk tolerance. Fund B is less stable,
but has larger returns.
Answer the following questions about this investment opportunity.
The Brady & Matthew Camera Company has just come out with their newest professional quality digital camera, the ToughPix1. The company is selling this camera only through its new mobile app at a profit of
$186
per camera. This purchase comes with a guarantee that, barring gross negligence, if the camera breaks in the first two years after purchase, Brady & Matthew will replace it free of charge. Replacing a camera in this way costs the company
$3100
. Suppose for each ToughPix1 there is a
4%
chance that it will need to be replaced exactly once, a
1%
chance that it will need to be replaced exactly twice, and a
95%
chance that it will not need to be replaced.
If Brady & Matthew knows that it will sell many of these cameras, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much?
To answer, take into account the profit earned on each camera and the expected value of the cost of replacements of the camera.

- Joelle can purchase the exclusive rights to a licensed product for 5 years for $125,000. Expected profits are $30,000 in Year 1, $35,000 in Year 2, $55,000 in Year 3, and $60,000 in Year 4. What is the payback period of this investmentarrow_forwardThe Brady & Matthew Camera Company has just come out with their newest professional quality digital camera, the ToughPix1. The company is selling this camera only through its new mobile app at a profit of $329 per camera. This purchase comes with a guarantee that, barring gross negligence, if the camera breaks in the first two years after purchase, Brady & Matthew will replace it free of charge. Replacing a camera in this way costs the company $2400. Suppose for each ToughPix1 there is a 2% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly once, a 3% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly twice, and a 95% chance that it will not need to be replaced. If Brady & Matthew knows that it will sell many of these cameras, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much? To answer, take into account the profit earned on each camera and the expected value of the cost of replacements of the camera. O Brady & Matthew can expect to make money from selling these cameras.

The trust fund has two investment options: (1) a bond fund and (2) a stock fund. The projected returns over the life of the investments are 11% for the bond fund and 15% for the stock fund. Whatever portion of the inheritance he finally decides to commit to the trust fund, he wants to invest at least 30% of that amount in the bond fund. In addition, he wants to select a mix that will enable him to obtain a total return of at least 12.5%. (a) Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the percentage (as a decimal) that should be allocated to each of the possible investment alternatives. (Assume B is the percentage (as a decimal) of funds invested in the bond fund and S is the percentage (as a decimal) of funds invested in the stock fund.)

- You plan to purchase dental insurance for your three remaining years in school. The insurance makes a one-time payment of $2000 in case of a major dental repair (such as an implant) or a one-time payment of $160 in case of a minor repair (such as a cavity). If you don't need dental repair over the next 3 years, the insurance expires and you receive no payout. You estimate the chances of requiring a major repair over the next 3 years as 3%, a minor repair as 67% and no repair as 30%. What are the possible values of X?arrow_forwardYou have $750,000 in an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) at the time you retire.

- The current price of a certain stock is £32, and a 3-month European call option with a strike of £33 costs £3.20. You believe that this stock will rise sharply in the coming months, so you would like to invest £6,400 in either the stock or options. What is the potential profit and loss from each alternative investment if the share price rises to £40 at expiration? What if the share price goes down to £25 at expiration? Draw a graph to represent your profit and loss profile of the option investment. Show in your graph the strike price, the breakeven point, and the potential maximum loss.arrow_forwardYou are a rising star in the music industry and you have just received word that you will be rewarded with a $500,000 bonus this year. As your chauffeur drives you home in the company's limousine, you call your accountant, who suggests investing your bonus in a high-yield account offering 12.6 % continuous interest. A friend you knew in college, however, wants you to invest your bonus in his restaurant business, and has promised 12.6 % interest, compounded quarterly. You want to compare both accounts before making a decision, so you crunch the numbers to find out: HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO EARN AN EXTRA $100,000? WHEN WILL THE ACCOUNT HAVE $750,000? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DOUBLE MY MONEY? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO TRIPLE MY INVESTMENT?arrow_forwardSuppose Janice has a 25% chance of totaling her car (worth $13,500) this year and Sam has a 19% chance of totaling his car ($23,700) this year.

- Can you tell me the reason why the cost of external equity is greater than the cost of internal equity?arrow_forwardAnalyze the following situation and determine which decision would be the best decision to make. Explain your answer. A man and his spouse are expecting a baby. Their current health insurance costs $111 per month, but doesn't cover prenatal care or delivery.
