Walther owns a home in flood-prone Paradise Basin. If there is no flood the home and land together will be worth $2100. If there is a flood, Walther's home will be destroyed but the land will still be worth $800. There is 1/10 of chance that Walther's house will be destroyed by the flood. Walther can buy flood insurance for $0.2 per dollar of coverage. Let CF and CNF be the value of respective values of his land in the case of a flood or no flood. Suppose the equation CNF = a - CF/b represents the possible values of CNF and CF that Walther can achieve by buying some amount of insurance. What is the value a +b?
