There is one investment and there are two different two probabilities. If the investment is in bust condition with %50 probability, the expected return is 100$. If the investment is in boom condition with %50 probability, the expected return is 50$. Calculate the likely price for this investment at most. Also the risks are given as %20 and %30 respectively for premium risk and free risk.
