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?

Early in 2014, Jones Industries was formed with authorization to issue 125,000 shares of $20 par value common stock and 15,000 shares of $100 par value cumulative preferred stock.  During 2014, all the preferred stock was issued at par, and 90,000 shares of common stock were sold for $35 per share.  The preferred stock is entitled to a dividend equal to 5 percent of its par value before any dividends are paid on the common stock.

During its first five years of business (2014 through 2018), the company earned income totaling $3,850,000 and paid dividends of 55 cents per share each year on the common stock outstanding.  

On January 2, 2016, the company purchased 2,000 shares of its own common stock in the open market for $80,000.  On January 2, 2018, it reissued 1,200 shares of this treasury stock for $60,000. The remaining 800 shares were still held in treasury at December 31, 2018.

  1. Distinguish between paid-in capital and retained earnings of a corporation.  Why is such a distinction useful?
    1. What are the major transactions and other financial activities that impact the amount of paid-in capital of a corporation?
    2. Identify for each major type of transaction or activity whether it increasesor decreasesthe amount of paid-in-capital.

SHARES COMMON STOCK..............................................410,000
EPS...........................................................................................1.57

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:

a. The break-even point for operating expenses before and after expansion (in sales dollars). ENTER YOUR ANSWERS IN DOLLARS NOT IN MILLIONS, I.E. $1,234,567.
