Gladstone corporation is about to launch a new product. depending on the success of the new product, the company may have one of four values next year: $150 million, $135 million, $95 million, and $80 million. these outcomes are all equally likely, and this risk is idiosyncratic (diversifiable). assume the risk-free interest rate is 5% and that we're in perfect capital markets.

    The value of the equity of Gladstone is the mean of the values of all possible outcomes. In specific, the average value at the end of the year is:

    (150+135+95+80) / 4=115 million dollars.

    We also need to account for the risk-free interest which depreciates our investment; If the rate is x%, we need to divide with 1+x/100 115/1.05=109.5 Million dollars. This is the value of the equity.
