The prospects for success facing your startup are risky: there is a 0.5 probability that you lose $1 million, 0.2 probability that you break even, and 0.3 probability that you make $5 million. what is the expected return from the startup? a. lose $1 million b. break even c. gain $1 million d. gain $1.5 million

Expected return  1,000,000

Explanation:

We will weight each result by their probability

Probability A 0.5 x 1,000,000 = -500,000

Probability B 0.2 x 0                =              0

Probability C 0.3 x 5,000,000 = 1,500,000

The we add them:

-500,000 + 0 + 1,500,000

Expected return  1,000,000

Remember

All the probabilities should add 1

0.50 +  0.2 + 0.3 = 1

one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
