1. If you are risk-neutral, what should you do and what is the EMV?

2. If you are risk-averse and have a risk tolerance of $1,500, what should you do and what is the risk-adjusted value? (Do both manually, and using Precison tree.)

3. You have a friend, Jerry S., who is a stockbroker. In his 30 years of brokering stocks, he has never been wrong! If Jerry says it will go up 25%, you can take that to the bank. Jerry is willing to assess the Fly-by-Night Fund for you and to provide the probabilities of the fund going up 25%, up 10%, and down 10%, for a fee of $500. (Yes, he's your friend, but business is business.)
