Mr Sng is a retiree in his late sixties. He has $100,000 to invest. He has no regular source of
income and no other assets. He is evaluating between 3 different lump-sum financial products
shown in Table 3. All products require a minimum investment sum of $100,000. Monetary
returns represent the net gain after one year of investing in the product. For example, if Mr Sng
chose to invest in Product B, he may lose $5,000 after one year if the GDP growth is negative.
He will earn $8,000 if the GDP growth exceeds 2% at the end of the year.

product(s) Mr Sng should invest in and what monetary return he can expect from each
approach
(ii) As you have only enough funds for one product, identify the most appropriate investment
