A company is trying to determine the initial investment for a four-year replacement project. The company owns some land that was originally purchased for $1,000,000. The land can be used for this new project but if the project is not undertaken, then the land can be sold for $2.4 million. The initial capital expenditure for this project will be $15.8 million. Because this is a replacement project, management feels that inventory will be reduced by $2.18 million but that will be reversed at the end of this project. The company also spent $1.49 million on a marketing survey to determine the feasibility of this project. What is the initial outlay at time 0 for this project

The management of a private investment club has a fund of $250,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. to arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk (x), medium risk (y), and low risk (z). management estimates that high risk stocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium risk stocks, 10%/year; and low risk stocks, 6%/year. the amount of money invested in low risk stocks is to be twice the sum of the amount invested in stocks of the other two categories. if the investment goal is to have a rate of return of 9% on the total investment, determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock. (assume that all the money available for investment is invested.)
