An investment pays you $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The investment will then pay you $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $500 at the end of year 6. If the rate of interest earned on the investment is 8%, what is the present value of this investment? What is its future value?
How do you solve this with excel?
Consider an investment that pays off $800 or $1,500 per $1,000 invested with equal probability. Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000?
(Use Calulator or Formula Approach)
You are offered an investment that will pay you $200 in one year, $400 the next year, $600 the next year and $800 at the end of the fourth year. You can earn 12 percent on very similar investments. What is the most you should pay for this one?
