1) The variability of returns associated with investing is generally called \( \qquad \) liquidity risk objective risk volatility subjective risk 2) Calculate: Tula, age 33, is thinking about investing for retirement. She plans to retire when she turns age 62. She will need \( \$ 1.2 \) million in today's dollars in assets. If Tula has \( \$ 300,000 \) currently saved and can earn an annual average real rate of return of \( 4 \% \), will she meet her retirement goal? Yes, because her money will double every 18 years, which will generate an excess savings amount. No, because after inflation it will take her 72 years to get to \( \$ 600,000 \) in assets. Yes, because the risks associated with earning \( 4 \% \) are very low, she can invest without worrying. No, because her money will double every 18 years, leaving her short of her goal.

A recent MBA would like your assistance to determine how much to save for retirement. He is planning to invest $3,000 in a retirement plan at the end of each year. The rate of return each year can be modeled as a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 12% and a standard deviation of 2%. a. If he is now 30 years old, how much money should he expect to have in his fund at the age of 60? b. What is the probability he will have more than 1 million in his retirement plan when he reaches 60? Note: Calculate with Future Value

Financial Planning Cyndee wants to invest $\$ 50,000 .$ Her financial planner advises her to invest in three types of accounts: one paying $3 \%,$ one paying $5 \frac{1}{2} \%,$ and one paying 9$\%$ simple interest per year. Cyndee wants to put twice as much in the lowest-yielding, least-risky account as in the highest-yielding account. How much should she invest in each account to achieve a total annual return of $\$ 2540 ?$

A 20 -yr-old starts a savings plan for her retirement. She will put $\$ 20$ per month into a mutual fund that she hopes will average $6 \%$ growth annually. a. If she plans to retire at age 65 , for how many months will she be depositing money? b. By age $65,$ how much money will she have deposited? c. The value of an account built in this fashion is given by $$A=P \cdot\left[\left(1+\frac{r}{12}\right)^{N}-1\right] \cdot\left(1+\frac{12}{r}\right)$$ where $A$ is the final amount of money in the account, $P$ is the amount of the monthly deposit, and $N$ is the number of months. Use a calculator to find the total amount in the woman's retirement account at age $65 .$
