A speculative investment is one where there is a high risk of loss, with high potential returns; a conservative investment is one where there is a low risk of loss, with lower potential returns. A firm is offering two different investments, one speculative (S) and one conservative (C), which are believed to carry the following probabilities for outcomes. Investment S: - 100% loss: 40% chance - 0% loss or gain: 15% chance - 100% gain: 15% chance - 400% gain: 15% chance - 900% gain: 15% chance Investment C: - 100% loss: 1% chance - 0% loss or gain: 35% chance - 10% gain: 59% chance - 20% gain: 5% chance
