Consider a firm that needs $350 to invest in a project that will yield a single cash flow one period hence. The firm knows the probability distribution of this cash flow, but no one else does. As a banker you only know that the firm is either low risk (L) or high risk (H). If it is L, then it will yield $500 with probability 0.8 and nothing with probability 0.2 one period hence. If it is H, it will yield $1500 with probability 0.6 and nothing with probability 0.4 one period hence. The firm itself knows whether it is H or L.
