Wait, are we sure the decision tree isn't upside down? That would really throw a wrench in things. I'm going to go with option B just to be safe.

Ah, the old 'maximum expected value' question. I bet the exam writers have a sense of humor, hiding the answer in plain sight like that.

This is a tricky one. I think I need to go back and review my decision tree concepts. The answer might be more complicated than it seems at first glance.

I'm not sure how they came up with $36 million. The values at the endpoints are $4 million, $6 million, and $2.4 million, so shouldn't the answer be one of those?
