Then, considering that project A and B both cost $100 today however, with project A expected to generate higher amount of $200 tomorrow compared to merely $100 expected to be generated by project B Larry would invest in project A. The reason for such decision is that the project A is expected generate $100 higher in return tomorrow compared to project B at same level of investment (Sofat & Hiro, 2015).
Still the preference of the investor would not change as the motive behind investment of an investor would be to optimize the amount return on his or her investment thus, with the above utility function Marry’s choice of investment would be project A as well as it expects to generate $200 tomorrow compared to $100 that is expected to be generated by project B.
Hence, Marry would also invest in project A.
Marry would invest in project A to generate higher return in the future.
Marry would borrow (1000 – 700) = $300 at net interest rate of 10%.
To get optimal investment,
Optimal consumption would be Co = 43.57 and C1 = 58.23.
If Bob has following utility function:
Then, he will invest as per the following assumption:
Using the Canadian Mortgage Convention the monthly mortgage payment for the mortgage loan of $800,000 from Bank of Montreal to buy house and a fixed rate of 6% a year with 5 year closed is $5,929.71 per month (Bryce, 2017).
For the 24th monthly payment out of the monthly mortgage payment of $5,929.71 principal amount is $1,886.54 and $3,810.97 is for interests.
Instead of monthly payment if the borrower changes the schedule of payment to weekly then the weekly mortgage payment would be $1,362.24.
