Each asset in the market starts with a value of {{C.BEGINNING_ASSET_VALUE}} points.

Based on both chance and a choice made by Owners, assets may increase or decrease in value. Each asset in the market can increase or decrease by a different amount, although the process that determines the amount of the change is the same for each asset.

The amount of the increase or decrease depends on three factors:
(1) A Random Factor between -50 points and +50 points. All amounts in this range are equally likely to occur.
(2) A Bonus Factor equal to either 0 points or 100 points.
(3) A Cost Factor equal to any amount between 0 points and 100 points.

Each asset’s final value is equal to: The starting value ({{C.BEGINNING_ASSET_VALUE}} points) + Random Factor + Bonus FactorCost Factor.

Owners have no control over the Random Factor. The value of the Random Factor, anything between -50 points and +50 points, is determined solely by chance.

However, Owners do have some control over the Bonus Factor and the Cost Factor. Owners choose the likelihood that the Bonus Factor will be equal to 100 points. The Cost Factor is higher when Owners choose higher likelihoods of the Bonus Factor being equal to 100 points.

Therefore, although each asset has a beginning value of {{C.BEGINNING_ASSET_VALUE}} points, its final value could be anywhere between 0 points and 300 points based on the Random, Bonus, and Cost Factors.
