Chapter 10.6, Problem 66E
You’re given the option of investing $10,000 in one of three mutual funds. A prominent market analyst posts the following estimates of performance for the three funds. The Hetrick Fund: 40% chance of a 35% gain; 40% chance of a 30% loss; 20% chance of breaking even. The Abercrombie Fund: 80% chance of breaking even; 12% chance of an 18% gain; 8% chance of a 9% loss. The Goldberg Fund: 25% chance of a 90% gain; 25% chance of a 5% gain; 40% chance of breaking even; 10% chance of losing everything. Answer parts (a) and (b) without doing any calculations.
(a) If your primary objective is to shoot for the largest possible return without regard to risk, which would you be likely to choose?
(b) If your primary objective is the least risk of losing big, which would you be likely to choose?
(c) Find the expected value for each fund. With these choices, who would be most likely to be successful: a timid investor or an aggressive one?

Analysts have determined that an upcoming business deal, which costs the company $40000 to initiate, has a 10% chance of generating $300000 of revenue, and a 60% chance of generating $80000 of revenue. Otherwise, the program will generate no revenue at all. On average, how much money will this type of business deal make or lose for the company?

- A big private oil company must decide whether to drill in the Gulf of Mexico. It costs $1 million (i.e., 1M) to drill, and if oil is found its value is estimated at $6 million. At present, the oil company believes that there is 45% chance that oil is present. Before drilling begins, the big private oil company can hire a geologist for $100,000 to obtain samples and test for oil. There is only about a 60% chance that the geologist will issue a favorable report. Given that the geologist does issue a favorable report, there is an 85% chance that there is oil. Given an unfavorable report, there is a 22% chance that there is oil. The following decision tree determine what the big private oil company should do. All the numbers are represented in a million unit.arrow_forwardSuppose in a tournament with only three players left, first place receives $6,000, second place receives $3,000, and third place receives $500.
