Suppose a mutual fund has a portfolio of stocks that have a market value of $10.75 billion and the company has 900 million shares of stock. What is the net asset value (in dollars) of a share of the mutual fund?
There is a 0.9985 probability that a randomly selected 31-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges $189 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out
$80,000 as a death benefit. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. From the perspective of the 31-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving?
The value corresponding to surviving the year is $
The value corresponding to not surviving the year is $
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
b. If the 31-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?
The expected value is $
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
c. Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?
because the insurance company expects to make an average profit of $
on every 31-year-old male it insures for 1 year.
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
There is a 0.9986 probability that a randomly selected 31-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges $175 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out

- The government is attempting to determine whetherimmigrants should be tested for a contagious disease. Let’sassume that the decision will be made on a financial basis.Assume that each immigrant who is allowed into the countryand has the disease costs the United States $100,000, andeach immigrant who enters and does not have the diseasewill contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Assumethat 10% of all potential immigrants have the disease. Thegovernment may admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants,or test immigrants for the disease before determiningwhether they should be admitted. It costs $100 to test aperson for the disease; the test result is either positive ornegative. If the test result is positive, the person definitelyhas the disease. However, 20% of all people who do havethe disease test negative. A person who does not have thedisease always tests negative.

However, if you decide to put some money into an investment, you are usually advised to leave it in for (at least) several years. Why? Because good years tend to cancel out bad years, giving you a better overall return with less risk.
