Explanation:

a. What is the expected value of his investment?

Based on the information given, this will be:

= (0.29 x $26000) + (0.35 x $20000) + (0.36 x $14000)

= $7540 + $7000 + $5040

= $19580

b. What should the investor do if he is risk neutral?

If the investor is risk neutral, then he should invest $20000.

c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse?

If the investor is risk averse, then it should be noted that he should not invest $20000 since the expected value of the investment will be lesser than its investment. In this case, the decision isn't clear cut if he's risk averse.
