Business Finance CPD Online Course Description
Probability and Expected Return |
![]() |
This tutorial describes the fundamentals of probability and expected value, with examples from insurance and lotteries. Some of the well-known problems arising from option exposure, such as the collapse of Barings Bank in the UK, have been rooted in a failure to understand the basic idea of options (rather than option pricing calculus).
Objectives
On completion you will be able to:
- Assess the expected value of an event based on its probability
- Explain how different risk preferences are combined with expected values to make decisions
- Recognize the effect of inflation on the present value of a future sum of money and how that can influence decisions
