Cost-savings initiatives:
There are two factors to increase the profits of a business. One is to increase the sale price and the other is to reduce the cost.
In perfectly competitive markets, it is not prudent to increase the sales price as the customer can shift either to the substitute products or move to other company.
Therefore, every company tries to reduce the cost as much as possible by putting more efforts in finding and removing unwarranted expenses from the business.
Expected value as its estimate:
Expected value is calculated taking into consideration the chances of achieving a target.
Most likely value as its estimate:
Most likely situation occurs when the probability of happening of an event is greater than the probability of not happening. Most likely situation is considered in the case when the chances of occurring an event is more than 50%.
