An asset produces $150 in two years, and $250 in four years, and the current price has been calculated to reflect a rate of return of 9% annually. Using the definition that convexity = second derivative of price divided by price, find the convexity of this asset evaluated at the annual yield rate of 9%.

An investment of $8,000 is made at time 0 with returns of $3,500 at the end of each of years 1–4, with all monetary amounts being in real dollars. Inflation is running 7% per year over that time. Also, the real rate of return is 15% per year. Determine the present worth of the investment using both real dollars and then-current dollars.
An investment earns P50,000 at the end of the 1st year and decreases by P5,000 every year thereafter. It has also been predetermined that that a fixed annual cost of P5,000 is spent for maintenance and repairs.
