Two friends each invested $20,000 of their own (equity) funds. Stan, being more conservative, purchased utility and manufacturing corporation stocks. Theresa, being a risk taker, leveraged the $20,000 and purchased a $100,000 condo for rental property. Considering no taxes, dividends, or revenues, analyze these two purchases by doing the following for 1 year after the funds were invested. (a) Determine the year-end values of their equity funds if there was a 10% increase in the value of the stocks and the condo. (b) Determine the year-end values of their equity funds if there was a 10% decrease in the value of the stocks and the condo. (c) Use your results to explain why leverage can be financially risky.
