Bonds and Stocks

Suppose that an investor has $100, and she would like to invest $100 in the bond market (B) or invest $100 in the stock market (S). Investing $100 in the bond market results in a capital gain of $5 at the end of the next year regardless of whether the stock market goes up (U) or down (D). Investing $100 in the stock market results in the capital gain of $10 if the stock market goes up (U) or the loss of $2 if the stock market goes down (D). It is believed that the stock market goes up with the probability of 75%. The investor needs to make her investment decision before the next year, i.e., before knowing whether the stock market will go up or down.
