Sue is a pessimistic investor, so choose the alternative (including doing saving instead of investing) that will reflect the maximum of the minimum payoffs that is the Corporate Bond of 15,273. a: Profit in Favorable Market: Future Value of corporate bond interests paid on 13% coupon rate annual basis in 5 years=25,273. Profit in Unfavorable Market = (minimum principle + interests) – initial investment= =20,000+25,273-30,000=15,273 b: Inflation rate would increase by 4.5% each year, so deposit the initial amount to saving tools which are provided also 4.5% interest rate each year in 5 years.
