For commodity price risk, there is a 25% chance that oil prices will increase, which would reduce profits by $25,000. However, there is a 25% chance that oil prices will fall significantly, which would increase profits by $50,000. There is also a 50% chance that oil prices will only fall slightly, improving profits by $5,000. With regard to the sovereign risk, there is a 50% chance that the country's government will impose a new tax, which would reduce profits by $50,000, and a 50% chance that no change will be made to the tax code.
