Answer: $2085

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the investment after five years will be calculated as follows:

= ($1800 × 55%) + ($2100 × 20%) + ($2700 × 25%)

= ($1800 × 0.55) + ($2100 × 0.2) + ($2700 × 0.25)

= $990 + $420 + $675

= $2085

The expected value of the investment after five years is $2085.
