 Solutions to Case Problems

Case 12.1 Reverend Mark Thomas Ponders Mutual Funds

This case enables the student to deal with the issues included in putting together a long-term mutual fund

program that will meet some pretty specific investment objectives.

a. Mark needs to accumulate capital and needs an investment that will serve as a storehouse of value.

Given his lack of investment expertise and the small sum he has to invest, mutual funds would be an

b. As indicated earlier in the text, certain prerequisites must be satisfied prior to entering an investment

program. Mark can cover the necessities, but he should be sure that he also has adequate insurance

c. Mark’s specific investment needs are retirement and college education for his child. Both objectives

Case 12.2 Calvin Jacobs Seeks the Good Life

Chapter 12 Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds 241

a. Given Calvin’s existing financial condition, he can take on a certain amount of risk. Also, Calvin

wants to consume immediately. Although he seems financially capable of assuming increased risk to

generate a higher return, he has also stated that he “intends to be around for a long time.” However,

b. The factors that must be taken into consideration are (1) Calvin’s existing wealth level, (2) his ability

to take on risk, (3) his demand for current income, and (4) his desire for capital preservation. These

considerations will clearly dictate the kinds of mutual funds Calvin should select. His demand for

c. Calvin is clearly not in need of any savings plan. He already has a considerable amount of savings

and is able to manage things well on his own. What Calvin needs is a withdrawal plan because he

d. Fund earns 10%. Starting balance is $100,000. At the end of the first year, this would be

worth $100,000  1.10  $110,000. Let us assume (for ease of calculation) that Calvin withdraws

$15,000 per year at the end of each year and compute the value after he makes his fifth withdrawal:

Year

Initial

Sum

Ending

Sum

Less Annual

Withdrawal

End of Year

Thus, at a 10% earning rate, the value of his $100,000 investment will steadily decline to $69,474 by

the end of the fifth year. The reason for this is simple: he’s taking out more than he’s earning. This

will eventually (between 11 and 12 years), result in total capital consumption, something Calvin
