Answer to Question 1

The expected profit from the restaurant is 15,000 per year. If the profits are divided equally among the three partners, this amounts to 5,000 per year. This is a 6.67 percent rate of return on the initial 75,000 investment. Since the expected rate of return is less than the market rate of interest, you should not go in on the deal.

Answer to Question 2

C
