Suppose that your wealth is $250,000. You buy a $200,000 house and invest the remainder in a risk-free asset paying an annual interest rate of 6%. There is a probability of .001 that your house will burn to the ground and its value will be reduced to zero. With a log utility of end-of-year wealth, how much would you be willing to pay for insurance (at the beginning of the year)? (Assume that if the house does not burn down, its end-of-year value still will be $200,000.)
Suppose that you invest $50,000 into a downpayment on a $250,000 house, which has a price appreciation of 3% per year. Your mortgage is fixed at $ 36,000 per year, and your tenants pay you $24,000 per year. Property taxes, maintenance, and other expenses cost $5,000 per year. Suppose that after 25 years, you sell your property. Would it have been better to invest $ 50,000 in the stock market, assuming it has returns of 9% per year over the same time period (25 years)? Why? Show your calculations and justify your answer. For the purposes of this question, suppose that inflation is zero.
) An investor buys a house for £130,000. 5 months later, the investor spends £8,000 to renovate the house.
One year after buying the house, the investor sells it for £175,000.
If the interest rate is 9% p.a, what is the net present value of this cashflow?
