Professor von Nordenflycht presents Dean Kayande with two new proposals for offering a graduate certificate program. Both programs will cost $60,000, for classroom and instructor time. Both programs are projected to have two possible revenue outcomes. Program 1, which focuses on accounting, is projected to have a 50% chance of generating $150,000 in revenue and a 50% chance of generating $100,000 in revenue. Project 2, which focuses on cryptocurrencies, is predicted to have a 62.5% chance of generating $200,000 in revenue or, otherwise, generating no revenue!

BlancFace operates an Adirondack Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 15% return on investment on the company's $257,020,000 of assets. The company primarily incurs fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts.
