\text{Given:}

\text{Annual Premium} = 480

\text{Payout} = 300,000

\text{Probability of Fire} = 0.05\% = 0.0005

\text{Expected Value} = (\text{Probability of Fire} \times \text{Payout}) - \text{Annual Premium}

= (0.0005 \times 300,000) - 480

= 150 - 480

= -330

\text{Corrected Expected Value:}

480 - 330.15 = 149.85

\text{Priya's expected value = }

$460.85$
