"A financial investor has $31,000 to invest. The choices have been narrowed down to the following two options.-OPTION 1:Invest in a foreign bond that will mature in one year. This will entail an immediate brokerage fee of $100. For simplicity, assume that the bond will provide interest of $2,470, $2,130, or $1,527 over the one-year period and that the probabilities of these occurrences are assessed to be 0.29, 0.43, and 0.28, respectively.-OPTION 2:Invest in a $31,000 certificate with a savings-and-loan association. Assume that this certificate has an effective annual rate of 5.6%.Which form of the investment should the investor choose in order to maximize her expected financial gains? Enter the expected net gain (total return - initial investment - fee) of the preferred option."
Applicational Materials sells several pieces of equipment used in the manufacture of silicon-based microprocessors. In 2003 the company filled 130 orders for model a55212. Suppose that the machines fail according to a Weibull law. In particular, the cumulative distribution function F(t) of the time until failure of any machine is given by F(t) = 1 - e-0.0475t1.2 for all t ≥ 0,where t is in years.a. What is the failure rate function for this piece of equipment?b. Of the original 130 sold in 2003, how many machines would one expect would not experience a breakdown before January 2007? Assume for the sake of simplicity that all the machines were sold on January 1, 2003.c. Using the results of part (a), estimate the fraction of machines that have survived 10 years of use that will break down during the 11th year of operation [or you may compute this directly if you did not get the answer to part (a)].

City bank has six-year zero coupon bonds with a total face value of $20 million. The current market yield on the bonds is 10 percent. Suppose that during last year the mean change in daily yields on six-year zero-coupon bonds was 25 basis points, while the standard deviation was 30 basis points. Yield changes are assumed to be normally distributed (critical value = 1.96 for 95% confidence interval) Question 1: What is the maximum yield change expected if a 95 percent confidence interval is used? Continue from Question 1, what is the daily earnings at risk (DEAR) of this bond portfolio?

A new product has the following profit projections and associated probabilities: Profit Probability $150,000 0.10 $100,000 0.25 $ 50,000 0.20 $0 0.15 -$ 50,000 0.20 -$100,000 0.10 Use the expected value approach to decide whether to market the new product. Because of the high dollar values involved, especially the possibility of a $100,000 loss, the marketing vice president has expressed some concern about the use of the expected value approach. As a consequence, if a utility analysis is performed, what is the appropriate lottery? Assume that the following indifference probabilities are assigned. Do the utilities reflect the behavior of a risk taker or a risk avoider? Profit Indifference Probability $100,000 0.95 $ 50,000 0.70 $0 0.50 -$ 50,000 0.25

The owners of a small manufacturing concern have hired a vice president to run the company with the expectation that he will buy the company after five years. For the first $150,000 of profit, the vice president's compensation is a flat annual salary of $50,000 plus 90% of company profits. Beyond the first $150,000 in profits, the vice president's compensation is the salary he receives at $150,000 profit plus 10% of company profits in excess of $150,000. How do you plot the profit of buying the company as a function of annual profit when you assume the company will be worth 10 million in five years?
