This week, let's talk about investments andinvestment risk. In class with you today are individuals with various experience in investing - some may be seasoned professionals, while others may have very little experience. Either case is perfect okay because we all approach investing, risk, and return differently.

When you invest your money, you have to consider a basic risk-return tradeoff. The risk-return tradeoff is the balance between the desire for the lowest possible risk and the highest possible returns. In general, low levels of uncertainty (low risk) are associated with low potential returns and high levels of uncertainty (high risk) are associated with high potential returns (link).

  1. Describe three factors that influence your evaluation of the risk of an investment
  2. What factors influence risk tolerance?
  3. How does diversification positively and negatively affect risk?
  4. What type of investor would invest in a high beta stock and a low beta stock?

The company is currently financed with 50% debt and 50% equity (common stock, par value of $10). In order to expand the facilities, Mr. Delsing estimates a need for $4.1 million in additional financing. His investment banker has laid out three plans for him to consider:
1) Sell $4.1 million of debt at 11%
2) Sell $4.1 million of common stock at $20 per share
3) Sell $2.05 million of debt at 10% and $2.05 million of common stock at $25 per share.

Variable costs are expected to stay at 50% of sales, while fixed expenses will increase to $2,510,000 per year. Delsing is not sure how much this expansion will add to sales, but he estimates sales will rise by $2.05 million per year for the next 5 years.

Delsing is interested in a thorough analysis of his expansion plans and methods of financing. He would like you to analyze the following:
