2. Artie Siegel, an MBA student, has been having problems balancing his checkbook. His monthly income is derived from a graduate research assistantship; however, he also makes extra money in most months by tutoring undergraduates in their quantitative analysis course. His historical chances of various income levels are shown in the following table:

Monthly Income* ($)	Probability
350	0.40
400	0.20
450	0.30
500	0.10

*Assume that this income is received at the beginning of each month.

Siegel’s expenditures also vary from month to month, and he estimates that they will follow this distribution:

Monthly Expenses ($)	Probability
300	0.10
400	0.45
500	0.30
600	0.15

He begins his final year with $600 in his checking account. Simulate the entire year (12 months) on the next page and discuss Siegel’s financial picture, i.e., will he be able to keep his head above water--(out of debt)? What is his expected average profit for the 12 months? Use the random numbers below.

Woodcock graduated from law school and finished his MBA in 1983. His student loans came due nine months later. Because he was a part-time student until 1990, he requested that payment be deferred, which the lender incorrectly approved. Because he was not in a degree program, payment should not have been deferred under the terms of the loan. Woodcock filed for bankruptcy in 1992, more than seven years after the loans first became due. Hence, that debt would be discharged...
