You currently pay $10,000 per year in rent to a landlord for a $100,000 house, which you are considering purchasing. You can qualify for a loan of $80,000 at 9% if you put $20,000 down on the house. To raise money for the down payment, you would have to liquidate stock earning a 15% return. Neglect other concerns, like closing costs, capital gains, and tax consequences of owning, and determine whether it is better to rent or own.

You have agreed that your friend will then repay you $120, keeping $10 for himself But instead he may choose to run away with the whole $130. Any of your money that you don't invest in the enterprise you can invest elsewhere safely at the prevailing rate of interest r and get $100 (1+r) next year. For interest rate r> __A___% there is an equilibrium outcome of the infinitely repeated game in which each period you invest with your friend and he repays as agreed. If the rate of interst is 10% per year, an alternative profit-splitting agreement giving $__B___ for the friend is an equilibrium outcome of the infinitely repeated game, where each period you invest with your friend and he repays as agreed. Answer A= ? Answer B= ?

The next year, because of a new virus, the business did poorly and I decided to leave the sushi business but I had to pay Ahmet Can 100,000TL to share our losses. What is the rate of return of my investment? Write your answer as a decimal number, with at least one digit after the decimal point. If your result is 10.5% just write 10.5 (DO NOT write it as 0.105 or DO NOT put a percentage sign)
Suppose that your wealth is $250,000. You buy a $200,000 house and invest the remainder in a risk-free asset paying an annual interest rate of 6%. There is a probability of .001 that your house will burn to the ground and its value will be reduced to zero. With a log utility of end-of-year wealth, how much would you be willing to pay for insurance (at the beginning of the year)? (Assume that if the house does not burn down, its end-of-year value still will be $200,000.)

Suppose you bought a condo for $100,000 financing it with a $20,000 down payment of your own funds and an $80,000 mortgage loan from a bank. Now assume that, instead of (a), you only put down $10,000 and borrowed $90,000 to buy the condo.

Stan Marsh, an investor, is considering two financing plans for purchasing a parcel of real estate costing $152,264. Alternative 1 involves paying cash; alternative 2 involves obtaining 82% financing at 9.4% interest. If the parcel of real estate appreciates in value by $17,153 in 1 year, calculate (a) Stan's net return and (b) his return on equity for each alternative. If the value dropped by $17,153, what effect would this have on your answers to parts a and b?
The Petersik family is considering purchasing a second home to use for short term rentals near the beach. If it purchases the house, they will place a down payment of $64,000 on the house. They estimate they will get an annual net rental profit of $8,500 after their mortgage and expenses are paid. After 18 years, they plan to pass the rental home along to their children, so assume the home has negligible salvage value. What would be the ERŘ if the Petersik family decides to invest in a rental home, assuming they keep the home for 18 years? Assume their MARR is 13%.
