Suppose the two countries can trade shares in the ownership of their perspective assets. Further assume that a Home owner of a 25 percent share in Foreign land.
 
  He will receive 25 percent share in Foreign land and thus receives 25 percent of the annual Foreign kiwi fruit harvest. Further assume that also that a Foreign owner of a 25 percent share in Home land is permitted. In this case, a Foreigner is entitled to 25 percent of the Home harvest. Calculate the expected value of kiwi fruit for each investor.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Good year at Home: 75 + 12.5 = 87.5 tons with probability 0.5
Bad year at Home: 37.5 from Home and 25 from Foreign = 62.5 with probability 0.5.
The expected return is: 0.5  87.5 + 0.5  62.5 = 75.
