15. A city mayor decides to construct a new bridge over the major river in the town. The estimated life of such a structure will be 20 years. There is a 70% probability that the total initial costs (consulting fees and construction) will be $800,000 and a 30% probability that such costs would be $1 million. There is 100% probability that the maintenance costs would be $30,000 every 5 years. How much money should the city borrow now in order to carry out the entire project including maintenance? The interest rate is 5%.
An investment plan allows investors to deposit a minimum of £1,000 at the beginning of the term, which pays a fixed return rate of 5% per annum. Af- ter a year, investors have to deposit a minimum of £800 with an expected return rate of 3% per annum for the second year and a standard deviation of 2% per annum. a. Find the expected value of the total minimum amount earned after two years of investment. b. Find the standard deviation of the total minimum amount earned after two years of investment.

Given the following information, what is the standard deviation of the returns on a portfolio that is invested 35 percent in both Stocks A and C, and 30 percent in Stock B? (see attached chart)
Mr Phiri has K10,000 in his account. He is considering investing in a project which has 70 % probability of earning a profit of K10,000 and a 30% probability of incurring a loss of K10,000. His utility at the moment is 20 utiles with the current K10,000. With K20, 000 his utility would be 25 utiles and with K0 his utility would be zero.a) What is the expected profit of the project? b) What is the expected marginal utility of the project? Is Mr Phiri likely to invest in the project? Mr Sinkala also has K10,000 from which he derives 20 utiles. However, Mr Phiri derives 15 utiles from the profit of K10,000.c) What is the expected marginal utility for Mr Sinkala? d) How can you describe Mr Phiri and Mr Sinkala in terms of their attitude towards risk?

4) You are a financial professional working in a corporate loan department. A company named Mitch Hedberg Inc. (MH) comes to you for a loan. MH has debt from a previous loan (given by a different firm than yours) of 200. Your company analysts say that MH is likely to earn either 180, 240, or 300 this year - each with a probability of 1/3. MH wants you to lend them 100. MH could use this borrowed 100 to do either project X or project Y. Project X has a guaranteed return of 125 if the 100 is put there. Project Y may return either 0 or 210; each has probability of 1/2 and also costs 100 to do. a) Which project, X or Y, has the larger expected value? b) If you lend MH the 100, what will they do with the money? Why? Show your math. c) Should you lend MH the money or not? Show your math. d) Why did I choose the letters "MH" for this problem? What financial economic concept with initials "MH" is important in this problem?

6- Suppose Firm B is selling 1 -year insurance contracts for houses. Suppose Firm B's customers are divided into three categories with different probabilities of needing a payment. First category will ask for a payment of 500000 with probability 0.10, the second category will ask for a payment of 250000 with probability 0.15 and the third category will ask for a payment of 100000 with probability 0.2 a. Calculate Firm B's expected payment for the year. Suppose Firm B has 120 customers in the first category, 230 in the second category and 405 in the third category. b. Calculate individual premium if Firm B charges the same amount to all its customers. 1 c. Calculate individual premium if Firm B utilizes the risk groups and charges the same amount of premium within groups d. Which group/groups are more likely to buy the insurance with group pricing compared to the case with uniform pricing?
