Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution State Future Price Asset K Future Price Asset L 1 $55 $60 2 $45 $30 The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50. You plan to buy a home for $100,000 in the future. You want to guarantee that you will have the money. What would you buy/sell today to accomplish this, and what would it cost today?

[EXCEL] Expected returns: John is watching an old game show rerun on television called Let's Make a Deal in which the contestant chooses a prize behind one of two curtains. Behind one of the curtains is a gag prize worth $150, and behind the other is a round-the-world trip worth $7,200. The producer of the game show has placed a subliminal message on the curtain containing the gag prize, which makes the probability of choosing the gag prize equal to 75 percent. What is the expected value of the selection, and what is the standard deviation of that selection? Please use Excel.
