Monday Morning Braintease: rolling dice

Here’s the setup: I have a single fair die and will pay you whatever you roll (e.g. you roll a 1: you receive $1, you roll a 2: you receive $2).

Question 1: What is the most you should ever pay to play this game?

Question 2: If I give you the option to roll again, how much is this option worth?
