A firm is modeling the uncertainty in its sales. Let X represent the firm's sales. X can be high sales with probability 0.3, medium sales with probability 0.4, or low sales with probability 0.3. Mathematically, P(X = high) = 0.3, P(X = medium) = 0.4, and P(X = low) = 0.3
Let Y be the status of the economy. The conditional probability that the firm's sales are high given the economy is good is 0.7. Mathematically, this is written as P(X = high | Y = good) = 0.7.
The probability the economy is good is 0.5, or P(Y = good) = 0.5.
What is the joint probability that the firm's sales are high and the economy is good, or what is P(X = high, Y = good)?

X's current stock is $10 per share. X will not pay dividends and faces the following conditional prices in a year: State Probability Price Good 0.3 $20 Medium 0.4 $10 Low 0.3 $5 In the Good state in a year, Y's conditional price is $5 with an associated 25% return. Y will pay a dividend of $1 with certainty in a year (with Probability=1). The equally weighted portfolio (50%/50%) that includes Y and X will be riskless if Y's conditional...
