Allen Young has always been proud of his personal investment strategies and has done very well over the past several years. He invests primarily in the stock market. Over the past several months, how ever, Allen has become very concerned about the stock market as a good investment. In some cases it would have been better for Allen to have his money in a bank than in the market. During the next year, Allen must decide whether to invest $ 10,000 in the stock market or in a certificate of deposit (CD) at an interest rate of 9%. If the market is good, Allen believes that he could get a 14% return on his money. With a fair market, he expects to get an 8% return. If the market is bad, he will most likely get no return at all - in other words, the return would be 0%. Allen estimates that the probability of a good market is 0.4, the probability of a fair market is 0.4, and the probability of a bad market is 0.2, and he wishes to maximize his long - run average return.

ScanSoft is developing a new process to manufacture optical disks. The development costs were higher than expected, so ScanSoft requires an immediate cash inflow of $5,200,000. To raise the required capital, the company decided to issue bonds. Since ScanSoft had no expertise in issuing and selling bonds, Hassan suggested that the company work with an investment dealer. The investment dealer bought the company's entire bond issue at a discount, and then planned to sell the bonds to the public at face value or the current market value. To ensure it would raise the $5,200,000 it required, ScanSoft plans to issue 5200 bonds with a face value of $1000 each, on January 20, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually on July 20 and January 20, beginning July 20, 2021. The bonds pay interest at 5.5% compounded semi- annually.Hassan Mustafa realized that when the bonds mature on January 20, 2041,…arrow_forward
