He is amazed because even with this raise, he feels that money is just as scarce as it was when he was a student. The paycheck comes and before he knows it, it is gone again. Certainly, he has many more “things” than he did before: a nice new car, an attractive apartment with some real furniture, and a wide screen television.

John feels that it is time to “get his finances in order” as his father is always saying. He intends to determine his personal Net Worth and to understand where his…arrow_forward

However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum. She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest income. Dividends will be tax-free.
