No damage: 85% probability
Partial damage: 12% probability, with repair costs of $200,000
Total loss: 3% probability, with a cost of $1,000,000
Calculate the standard deviation of the loss of each owner with pooling (2 buildings together)
Critically evaluate the usefulness of Net Present Value as an investment appraisal.
