Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%.

You have $95,000 you would like to invest in three different stocks: MarkyB Inc., JohnJohn Ltd., and Garretts Spaghetti House. You would like to invest no more than $12,000 in Garretts Spaghetti House, and you want the amount you invest in MarkyB Inc., to be at least the amount invested in JohnJohn Ltd. and Garretts Spaghetti House combined. If MarkyB Inc. earns 19% annual interest, JohnJohn Ltd. earns 11% annual interest, and Garretts Spaghetti House earns 6% annual interest, how much money (in dollars) should you invest in each stock to maximize your annual interest earned? What is the maximum annual interest earned? You should invest $ into MarkyB Inc., $ into JohnJohn Ltd., and $ into Garretts Spaghetti House, which will give you give you maximum annual interest $

Janus Seagull had a car accident and was out of work for a year. Janus believes that the accident was caused by a vehicle defect. He consulted some lawyers and planned to sue the vehicle manufacturer. During negotiations, the legal team of the vehicle manufacturer offered a $700K settlement. However, Janus needs to settle the $100K in legal fees. Janus asked his lawyer for advice and the lawyer told him that he has a 50% chance of winning the case. If Janus loses, he will incur legal fees of $75K. If he wins, the full requested settlement is also not guaranteed. The lawyer believes that there is a 50% chance that Janus will receive full settlement of $3 million, of which Janus needs to settle $1 million in legal fees. There is a 50% chance that the jury will award Janus $1 million, of which 50% will be taken up by legal fees.

At the end of 2009, right after the great recession of 2008-2009, business partners Mario and Luigi sold their plumbing business and retired. Each of them received $1,000,000 net from the sale. Mario holds an undergaduate business degree and understands risk, return, and divesification. He decides to invest his 1M$ in SPY ETF (essentially a stock that tracks the S&P 500 index performance). Luigi comes from a low income family and could not afford to go to college. He doesn't understand finance and he fears risk, so he decides to put his money in a bank savings account. The average S&P500 annual return from 2010 to 2019 has been 11.3%, the average annual return on a standard savings account has been 0.1% over the last 10 years. What is the difference in FV value (end of 2019) between Mario and Luigi investment holdings?
Giapetto is thinking of buying a new cutting tool for $20 to make toy soldiers and a new clamping tool for $15 to make toy trains. If he does not buy a new tool, he can still make a toy using the older tool he already has. However, using an old cutting tool leads to 50% of the produced soldiers and using an old clamping tool leads to 20% of the produced trains to be defective. With a new tool, there is no defective production. Giapetto cannot sell any defective product. Weekly demands (must be met exactly without left- over inventory) and productions costs are as follows: 1. Soldiers 2. Trains Demand (units/week) Production cost ($/unit) 400 300 7 17 There are other details about the problem which will be added later. Giapetto started formulating a mathematical model considering only the above description and defined the following decision variables: • xi: Production quantity for type i toy, i = 1, 2 corresponding to soldiers and trains, respectively. Considering the above problem…
