You have gotten tired of working for a living and have taken a brainwave to buy a salvage vessel, cruise to Bermuda, and dive for sunken treasure to become rich. The cost of the vessel, diving gear, a crew, and insurance against "the bends" is $200,000. But the potential payoff is huge: $2 million if you actually find and recover the treasure. Now historically, only 1 out of every 20 treasure hunters like you has ever hit pay dirt.1) Should you invest in diving for treasure, or suck it up and go back to your regular job?2) What is the expected value of Perfect Information on whether there is treasure or not?

Alandowner entered into a written agreement with a real estate broker whereby the broker would receive a commission of 10% of the sale price if he procured a "ready, willing, and able buyer" for the landowner's property and if the sale actually proceeded through closing. the broker found a buyer who agreed in writing to buy the property from the landowner for $100,000, the landowner's asking price. the buyer put up $6,000 as a down payment. the agreement between the landowner and the buyer contained a liquidated damages clause providing that, if the buyer defaulted by failing to tender the balance due of $94,000 at the closing date, damages would be 10% of the purchase price. the landowner included that clause because she was counting on using the proceeds of the sale for a business venture that would likely net her at least $10,000. the buyer became seriously ill and defaulted. when he recovered, he demanded that the landowner return his $6,000, and the landowner refused. the broker also demanded the $6,000 from the landowner and was refused. the broker and the buyer filed separate suits against the landowner, with the buyer pleading impossibility of performance. the two cases are consolidated into a single case. how should the court rule as to the disposition of the $6,000?
