The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your

wine now, at a price of $P a bottle, or to sell it later at a higher price. Suppose you know that the amount a wine-drinker is willing to pay for a bottle of this wine t years from now is $P(1 + 20). Assuming continuous compounding and a prevailing interest rate of 5% per year, when is the best time to sell your wine?

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.

−0.0814

Step-by-step explanation:

X ___ 0 __ 0.15 __ 0.30 ___ 0.45 ___ 1

P(x)_0.20 _0.20___0.20 ___0.25 __0.20

The expected mean ; E(X) :

Σx * p(x)

(0*0.2) + (0.15*0.2) + (0.3*0.2) + (0.45*0.2) + (1*0.2) = 0.38

The variance ; Var(X) :

Σx²*p(x) - E(x)²

(0^2 * 0.2) + (0.15^2 * 0.2) + (0.3^2 * 0.2) + (0.45^2 * 0.2) + (1*0.2) - 0.38^2

0.063 - 0.1444

−0.0814
