In many cities, discount clubs are popular. For a fixed annual
fee (paid in advance) one can purchase goods at 90% of their
listed price (in other words, 10% off the list price); otherwise,
one pays the list price. Suppose that the annual fee is $300
and the interest rate on your savings account is 5%. Finally,
assume discount club's list prices are the same as any other
store, and you plan to spend $4000 over the coming year at
this store. (Hint: the interest represents an opportunity cost
of purchasing a membership).

A company is considering investing in a new machine that makes the production process more efficient. The machine costs $15,000 and will lower the variable unit costs by $2. The goal of the investment is to increase production, allowing the company to benefit from the experience curve and selling the product $3 cheaper than the current price of $38. What is the percentage change in the number of units sold if the company wants to maintain its profitability? Assume it is currently producing 10,000 units of the product and has a current contribution of $10 per unit sold.

- The buyer of a piece of real estate is often given the option of buying down the loan. This option gives the buyer a choice of loan terms in which various combinations of interest rates and discount points are offered. The choice of how many points and what rate is optimal is often a matter of how long the buyer intends to keep the property. Darrell Frye is planning to buy an office building at a cost of $988,000. He must pay 10% down and has a choice of financing terms. He can select from a 7% 30-year loan and pay 4 discount points, a 7.25% 30-year loan and pay 3 discount points, or a 7.5% 30-year loan and pay 2 discount points. Darrell expects to hold the building for four years and then sell it. Except for the three rate and discount point combinations, all other costs of purchasing and selling are fixed and identical. 1. If Darrell chooses the 2-point 7.5% loan, what will be his total outlay in points and payment after 48months?

- A Flexible Savings Account (FSA) plan allows you to put money into an account at the beginning of the calendar year that can be used for medical expenses. This amount is not subject to federal tax. As you pay medical expenses during the year, you are reimbursed by the administrator of the FSA until the money is exhausted. From that point on, you must pay your medical expenses out of your own pocket. On the other hand, if you put more money into your FSA than the medical expenses you incur, this extra money is lost to you. Your annual salary is $80,000 and your federal income tax rate is 30%. [1] Assume that your medical expenses in a year are normally distributed with mean $2000 and standard deviation $500. Build an @RISK model in which the output is the amount of money left to you after paying taxes, putting money in an FSA, and paying any extra medical expenses. Experiment with the amount of money put in the FSA, using a RISKSIMTABLE function.

Rent and utilities eat up most of her paycheck, so when something unexpected happens, she is often short. Last week, her car broke down but she was already way behind in credit card payments. Yesterday, a collections guy called and said that if she didn't pay at least $100 right away, she’d be taken to court. When she got off the phone, she started to cry. Her friend Kathy asked her what was wrong. Marissa described to her how bad her financial situation is, and Kathy thought that Marissa might qualify for food stamps. Marissa has a full-time job so she isn't sure that she’ll qualify, and even if she does, she isn’t sure it will help too much. ) How is it possible that someone making almost 25% more than the minimum wage, and working full-time, qualifies for food assistance?
