Suppose you make a 2,000 investment in a risky undertaking. There is a 50 chance that the payoff from the investment will be 5,000, a 20 chance that you will just get your money back, and a 30 chance that you will receive nothing at all from your investment. If you invest 6,000 in the risky undertaking instead of 2,000 and the possible payoffs triple accordingly, what are the expected value of the net profit from the 6,000 investment?
