Question 9: You want to decide between investment A and investment B. Investment A costs 100K upfront and B costs 150K upfront. If the economy performs well A brings in 750K but if it performs poorly it makes a loss of 250K. The corresponding figures for investment B are a gain of 850K and a loss of 300K, respectively. The probability that the economy performs well is p (and the probability that it performs poorly is 1- p). Assume that the company is risk-neutral. Find p assuming that the two investments have the same value.
