Suppose you are offered the alternative of receiving either $3,000 at the end of five years or P dollars today. There is no question that the $3,000 will be paid in full (no risk). Because you have no current need for the money, you would invest the P dollars in business that pays 8% or more profit.a) What value of P would make you indifferent to your choice between P dollars today and the promise of $3,000 at the end of five years?
b) What if the early payment option gets changed to: Half of the payment (P/) is given now while the other half (P/2) is given after 1 year. Find the value of P.
Suppose that at the beginning of 2004 you invested $8,500 in the Stivers mutual fund and $5,000 in the Trippi mutual fund. The value of each investment at the end of each subsequent year is provided in the table below:

- For investments between $100,000 and $249,999.99 and terms between 180 and 269 days, Royal Bank pays 1.00% on a non- redeemable GIC and 0.75% on a redeemable GIC. Julienne has $185,000 to invest for 195 days and is certain that she will not need earlier access to her money. How much more will she earn if she chooses the non-redeemable option instead of the redeemable?arrow_forwardA rather wealthy man decides to arrange for his descendants to be well educated. He wants each child to have $65,000 for his or her education. He plans to set up a perpetual trust fund so that five children will receive this assistance in each generation. He estimates that generations will be spaced 25 years apart. He expects the trust to be able to obtain a 5% rate of return and the first recipients to receive the money 15 years hence. How much money should he now set aside in the trust?

The insurance makes a one-time payment of $2000 in case of a major dental repair (such as an implant) or a one-time payment of $160 in case of a minor repair (such as a cavity). If you don't need dental repair over the next 3 years, the insurance expires and you receive no payout. You estimate the chances of requiring a major repair over the next 3 years as 3%, a minor repair as 67% and no repair as 30%. What are the possible values of X?arrow_forward
- No hand written solution and no img George Johnson recently inherited a large sum of money; he wants to use a portion of this money to set up a trust fund for his two children. The trust fund has two investment options: (1) a bond fund and (2) a stock fund. The projected returns over the life of the investments are 8% for the bond fund and 11% for the stock fund. Whatever portion of the inheritance he finally decides to commit to the trust fund, he wants to invest at least 30% of that amount in the bond fund. In addition, he wants to select a mix that will enable him to obtain a total return of at least 9%. (a) Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the percentage (as a decimal) that should be allocated to each of the possible investment alternatives. (Assume B is the percentage (as a decimal) of funds invested in the bond fund and S is the percentage (as a decimal) of funds invested in the stock fund.)

He is planning to buy a car, open a savings account, and place money in a certificate of deposit (CD) so that he may purchase a boat when he retires. Hector has asked that we help him decide which options are best for him. The car Hector has chosen costs $24,000. Most car loans are calculated using simple interest, a method which interest is calculated only one per year. His first option is a loan with 3% interest over six years. How much will Hector pay over the course of the next six years if he chooses this option?arrow_forwardQUESTION 8 Sam bought a house that costs $1,000,000. Sam got a 97% LTV loan.
