Two students in a microeconomics class traveled to a football game just before the midterm and drank too much to be able to study. So they telephoned their professor and lied to him, saying that a flat tire had delayed them. "No problem," said the professor. "Take the test tomorrow." When they arrived, the professor put each student in a separate room for taking the test. The first question, worth 5 points, was easy. The second question was worth 95 points: "Which tire?" Calculate, for each student, the expected test score.

At the end of 2009, right after the great recession of 2008-2009, business partners Mario and Luigi sold their plumbing business and retired. Each of them received $1,000,000 net from the sale. Mario holds an undergaduate business degree and understands risk, return, and divesification. He decides to invest his 1M$ in SPY ETF (essentially a stock that tracks the S&P 500 index performance). Luigi comes from a low income family and could not afford to go to college. He doesn't understand finance and he fears risk, so he decides to put his money in a bank savings account. The average S&P500 annual return from 2010 to 2019 has been 11.3%, the average annual return on a standard savings account has been 0.1% over the last 10 years. What is the difference in FV value (end of 2019) between Mario and Luigi investment holdings?
