- Suppose you begin year 1 with 5000. At the beginning of each year, you put half of your money under a mattress and invest the other half in Whitewater stock. During each year, there is a 40% chance that the Whitewater stock will double, and there is a 60% chance that you will lose half of your investment. To illustrate, if the stock doubles during the first year, you will have 3750 under the mattress and 3750 invested in Whitewater during year 2. You want to estimate your annual return over a 30-year period. If you end with F dollars, your annual return is (F/5000)1/30 1. For example, if you end with 100,000, your annual return is 201/30 1 = 0.105, or 10.5%. Run 1000 replications of an appropriate simulation. Based on the results, you can be 95% certain that your annual return will be between which two values?arrow_forwardUse excel for this problem A trust officer at the Blacksburg National Bank needs to determine how to invest $150,000 in the following collection of bonds to maximize the annual return.

- A bond has a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 3.70%, an yield to maturity of 7.4%, makes 2 (semi-annual) coupon payments per year, and 6 periods to maturity (or 3 years to maturity). Determine the duration of this bond.

- CWD Electronics sells Televisions (TV), which it orders from the USA. Because of shipping and handling costs, each order must be for 5TVs. Because of the time it takes to receive an order, the company places an order every time the present stock drops to 5 TVs. It costs $50 to place anorder. It costs the company $500 in lost sales when a customer asks for a TV and the warehouse is out of stock. It costs $100 to keep each TV stored in the warehouse. If a customer cannot purchase a TV when it is requested, the customer will not wait until one comes in but will go to a competitor.The following probability distribution for demand for TV has been and the time required to receive an order once it is placed (lead time) has the following probability distribution: (Attached) The company has 3 TVs in stock.

Cohen and his 3 CPAS together bill 620 hours per month. When Cohen or another accountant bills more than 155 hours per month, he or she gets an additional "overtime" pay of $63.20 for each of the extra hours. This is above and beyond the $4,900 salary each draws during the month. (Cohen draws the same base pay as his employees.) Cohen strongly discourages any CPA from working (billing) more than 250 hours in any given month. The demand for billable hours for the firm over the next 6 months is estimated below. attempted Cohen has an agreement with Forrester, his former partner, to help out during the busy tax season, up to 250 hours in any given month if needed, for an hourly fee of $135. Cohen will not even consider laying off one of his colleagues in the case of a slow economy. He could, however, hire another CPA at the same salary as business…arrow_forwardPlease zoom it for clere imagearrow_forward
