Suppose that you are trying to decide whether to spend $1,000 on stocks issued by Wild Web or on bonds issued by the same company. There is a 50 percent chance that the value of the stock will rise to $2,200 at the end of the year and a 50 percent chance that the stock will be worthless at the end of the year. The bonds promise an interest rate of 20 percent per year, and it is certain that the bonds and interest will be repaid at the end of the year. a. Assuming that your time horizon is exactly one year, will you choose the stocks or the bonds?
b. By how much is your expected end-of-year wealth reduced if you make the wrong choice?
c. Suppose the odds of success improve for Wild Web: Now there is a 60 percent chance that the value of the stock will be $2,200 at year’s end and only a 40 percent chance that it will be worthless. Should you now choose the stocks or the bonds?
d. By how much did your expected end-of-year wealth rise as a result of the improved outlook for Wild Web?

Suppose that a major city’s main thoroughfare, which is also an interstate highway, will be completely closed to traffic for two years, from january 2014 to december 2015, for reconstruction at a cost of $535 million. if the construction company were to keep the highway open for traffic during construction, the highway reconstruction project would take much longer and be more expensive. suppose that construction would take four years if the highway were kept open, at a total cost of $800 million. the state department of transportation had to make its decision in 2014, one year before the start of construction (so that the first payment was one year away). so the department of transportation had the following choices: (i) close the highway during construction, at an annual cost of $267.5 million per year for two years. (ii) keep the highway open during construction, at an annual cost of $200 million per year for four years. now suppose the interest rate is 80%. calculate the present value of the costs incurred under each plan.
