Victor and Maria Hernandez Wonder About Investing
Victor and Maria have decided to increase their contribution to their investment portfolio since Victor is now age 59 and thinking about retiring in five years. For years, they have followed a moderate-risk investment philosophy and put their money in suitable stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The value of their portfolio is now $420,000, and this is in addition to their paid-for rental property, which is worth $300,000. They plan to invest about $12,000 every year for the next five years.
Why should Victor and Maria consider buying common stock as an investment with the additional money? Why or why not?
Maria bought a stock with a market price of $50 and a beta value of 1.9, what would be the likely price of an $12,000 investment after one year if the general market for stocks rose 5 percent? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

You have recently learned that the company where you work is being sold for $1,000,000. The company's income statement indicates next year's profits of $30,000, which have yet to be paid out as dividends. Assuming the company will remain a "going concern" indefinitely and the interest rate will remain constant at 7%, at what (constant) rate does the owner believe that profits will grow?
(Hint: the price the owner was willing to pay is the present value of the firm's future cash flows)
