1 Review problem 12 at the end of Chapter 2 in the text:
Frank Hurley is a farmer with 250 acres on which he wishes to plant wheat and corn to maximize his expected return for the season.

Under this program, he is guaranteed to earn $150 per acre of wheat planted and $200 per acre of corn planted. Alternatively, he can opt not to participate in the program, in which case he projects he would make only $125 per acre of wheat planted and $184 per acre of corn planted.
