Answer:

$136,363

Explanation:

For computing the willing amount to pay, first we have to determine the expected cash flow that is shown below:

Expected cash flow is

= $80,000 × 0.5 + $220,000 × 0.5

= $40,000 + $110,000

= $150,000

Now the willing amount is

= Expected cash flow × 1 ÷ (1 + risk free investment + risk premium)

= $150,000 × 1 ÷ (1 + 10%)

= $150,000 × 0.9090

= $136,363
