Your task is to analyze the perceived risk associated with a decision. Imagine that you are considering the purchase of a recreational vehicle (RV).

RVs range in price from just a few thousand dollars to as much as $400,000. In fact, there are even RVs that are customized for a million dollars! Of course, these super-luxury RVs include benefits such as built-in saunas, granite floors, and other unique components.
Part A. Conduct Internet research to find three (3) RV options that are available and the associated costs involved. Use this research in assessing your risk. Discuss your findings and state the amount of money you would consider spending on your RV. A minimum of two (2) Internet sources is required.
Part B. In the introduction to your risk analysis, be sure to explain the price point on which you will focus and why you chose the product attributes that you want to acquire.
