Suppose you are considering investing $1,000 in a load fund that charges a fee of 7%, and you expect your investment to earn 13% over the next year. Alternatively, you could invest in a no-load fund with similar risk that charges a 1% redemption fee. You estimate that this no-load fund will earn 11%. Given your expectations, which is the better investment and by how much? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Suppose you have a medium risk-tolerance, and you want an annual return of $355. You decide to invest part in Fund A and the rest in Fund B. How much do you need to invest in Fund A? $ . Round to the nearest cent. Appreciate it thanks!!@@
Suppose that we make contributions to a fund of $125 today and $750 in twoyears for a return of $1000 in one year. First write the Net Present Value as a function of the discount factor ν. Secondly, use the NPV to calculate the yield rate of this investment (select the larger value for i. Finally, explain whether or not this is a good investment for us. Please show all work
Consider an investment that pays off $800 or $1,500 per $1,000 invested with equal probability. Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000?
Suppose you have a project that has a 0.8 chance of doubling your investment in a year and a 0.2 chance of halving your investment in a year. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 places.)
Suppose you have a project that has a 0.4 chance of tripling your investment in a year and a 0.6 chance of halving your investment in a year. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places.) What is the standard deviation?
You are considering an investment with the following characteristics. The investment will cost you $551 today, but will pay you annual benefits of $107 for 11 years starting at the end of the first year. The relevant opportunity cost of capital is 9%. What is the NPV of this investment? Round your answer to two decimals. Enter negative values with a - sign. Don't enter the $-symbol as part of your answer.
In your own words, explain how compounding works. According to the rule of 72, if you deposit $100 in an account that pays 9% compound interest, how long will it take that initial deposit to reach $200? Use the matrix given below. For each type of investment, record this information: • Is the risk high, moderate, or low? • Is the return high, moderate, or low? • How does this type of investment work? Explain in one or two sentences.
An investor has to decide how much he will be willing to pay for an investment that generates the following stream of future cash flows: Yr1 = 35, Yr2 = 40, Yr3 = 45, Yr4 = 50, Yr5= 55. His minimum required rate of return is 9 percent. How much should he be willing to pay for it today?
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. 1. Suppose you have a low risk-tolerance, and you invest everything in Fund A. How much do you expect to make on your investment?Round to the nearest cent. 2. Suppose you have a medium risk-tolerance, and you want an annual return of $355. You decide to invest part in Fund A and the rest in Fund B. How much do you need to invest in Fund A?
Suppose you consider investing $1,000 in a load fund which charges a fee of 2%, and you expect the fund to earn 14% over the next year. Alternatively, you could invest in a no-load fund with similar risk that is expected to earn 9% and charges a 1/2 percent redemption fee. Which is better and by how much? a. Funds are equal b. Load fund by $32.65 c. Load fund by $50.55 d. No-load fund by $64.55 e. No-load fund by $44.30
