Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

If Sarah did not know whether a variety is to be retired, her expected value of a purchase is
(.75  -5 ) + (.25  95 ) = -3.75 + 23.75 = 20.
If she knows ahead of time that a variety won't be retired, she won't buy one. So, her expected value becomes (.75  0 ) + (.25  95 ) = 23.75.
The information that a variety will or will not be retired is worth 3.75 to her.
