Expected future cash flow = aggregate of the multiplied
value of probability and each future cash flow
E.g. if expected value = 136 (when unsecured, and calculated
using formula), what is the expected value with security if
security interest has value of 100
When unsecured, probability of getting 210 = 0.5,
probability of getting 90, 70, 50, 30 or 0 = 10% each
Payoff can never be less than a hundred, hence
expected value would be 155 E(F) = 0.5 x 210 + 0.5
x 100 this is because, probability of payoff without
security of less than 100 is 50%, but you would
definitely receive the minimum security interest of 100
With security, variance and standard deviation is much
lower, and expected value would increase

Method 1 of securing debt = personal security
