Assume that an investment is expected to generate the following returns: a 10% chance of a $1,400 return, a 50% chance of a $6,600 return, and a 40% chance of a $1,500 return. What is the expected rate of return on this investment? Note: The solution must be displayed on an Excel sheet using Excel functions such as =PV(...) and =FV(...) etc.

Translate the following monetary payoffs into utilities for a decision maker whose utility function is described by an exponential function with R = 250: –$200, –$100, $0, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500.
A firm has three investment alternatives. Payoffs are in thousands of dollars. a. Using the expected value approach, which decision is preferred? b. For the lottery having a payoff of 100,000 with probability p and 0 with probability (1 p), two decision makers expressed the following indifference probabilities.

APT An analyst has modeled the stock of Crisp Trucking using a two-factor APT model. The risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return on the first factor (r1) is 12%, and the expected return on the second factor (r2) is 8%. If bi1 = 0.7 and bi2 = 0.9, what is Crisp’s required return?
Consider a decision maker who is comfortable with an investment decision that has a 50% chance of earning $25,000 and a 50% chance of losing $12,500, but not with any larger investments that have the same relative payoffs. Write the equation for the exponential function that approximates this decision maker’s utility function. Plot the exponential utility function for this decision maker for x values between –20,000 and 35,000. Is this decision maker risk-seeking, risk-neutral, or risk-averse? Suppose the decision maker decides that she would actually be willing to make an investment that has a 50% chance of earning $30,000 and a 50% chance of losing $15,000. Plot the exponential function that approximates this utility function and compare it to the utility function from part (b). Is the decision maker becoming more risk-seeking or more risk-averse?
The following profit payoff table was presented in Problem 1: The probabilities for the states of nature are P(s1) = 0.65, P(s2) = 0.15, and P(s3) = 0.20.

Using the expected value approach, what is the recommended decision without perfect information? What is its expected value? What is the expected value of perfect information?
