    Expected pay off of investing 1000 in Rothko, LLC = probability of getting oil stock * increase in value ofstock=.37 * 63% of 1000

    =.37*630 = 233.1

    Similarly

    Expected pay off of investing 1000 in Calder & co =.63 * 37% of 1000=.63 * 370 = 233.1

    Of investing 500 in each

    Expected pay off=.37 * 63% of 500 +.63 * 37% of 500

    =.37 * 315 +.63 * 185 = 233.1
