- 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.arrow_forwardThe Browning family of Colorado wants to buy a $102,000 house.

- You have to decide whether to invest $100 in a friend's enterprise, where in a year's time the money will increase to $130. 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.
