To get the best available interest rate and loan terms to buy a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Redondo Beach, California at a purchase price of $1,800,000, a young couple was told that if they were able to make a 20% down payment and took out a 30-year fully amortizing fixed rate conforming mortgage loan for the balance of the purchase price, they could get a loan with an annual interest rate of 6.5% on the contract loan amount, with one point charged by the lender plus a $1,500 appraisal fee and a $50 credit report fee.

An investor has patented a new device, and a bank is willing to lend the money to manufacture the device. Preliminary investigation establishes a suitable planning period of 5 years for the comparison of payoffs from this invention. According to the investor’s analysis, profit of $800,000 can be anticipated over the next 5 years if sales are strong; if sales are average, the investor can expect to make $200,000; and if sales are week, the investor expects to loss $50,000. Nationwide Enterprises, Inc. has offered to purchase the patent rights. Based on royalty arrangement, the inventor estimates that selling the patent rights may well bring a net profit of $400,000 if sales are strong, $70,000 if sales are average and $10,000 if sales are week. On the basis of extensive investigation of past experience with similar devices, the investor assigns the probabilities for strong, average, and week sales to be 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3 respectively. 1.
