a)
The EMV for small plant = 0.65 x 270 + 0.35 x 195
EMV for small plant = 243.75
EMV for large plant = 0.65 x 480 + 0.35 x 100
EMV for large plant = 347
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b)
Expected value of perfect information (EVPI) = Expected value with perfect information - Maximum EMV
Expected value with perfect information = Best outcome for 1st state of nature * probability of 1st state of nature + Best outcome for 2nd state of nature * probability of 2nd state of nature
Best outcome for high demand is to build a large plant with a payoff of 480. The best outcome for low demand is to build a small plant with a payoff of 195
Expected value with perfect information = 480 x 0.65 + 195 x 0.35
Expected value with perfect information = 380.25
The maximum EMV is 347 for large plant
Expected value of perfect information (EVPI) = 380.25 - 347
Expected value of perfect information (EVPI) = 33.25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c)
Expected value of perfect information is the difference between the payoff that results under perfect information and the payoff resulting under risk.

4. The CEO must determine whether to build a small plant or a large plant for the company. The CEO believes that the profit made will depend on the level of future demand. The payoff table (in $) is as follows: Event High Demand Low Demand Probability 0.65 0.35 Action Small Plant 270 195 Action Large Plant 480 100 a. Build the opportunity loss matrix b. Interpret the number in the opportunity loss matrix for a low demand and a...
please help!! im so confused will give good rating! (6) A manager is deciding whether or not to build a small facility. Demand is uncertain and can be either at a high or low level. If the manager chooses a small facility and demand is low, the payoff is $360. If the manager chooses a small facility and demand is high, the payoff is $100. On the other hand, if the manager chooses a large facility and demand is low,...
Lecture Exercise #15 Consider the following payoff matrix: State of Nature Alternative High Demand (Prob. = 0.7) Low Demand (Prob. = 0.3) Build Large Plant $150,000 $70,000 Build Small Plant $110,000 $90,000 Do Nothing 0 0 . Without any additional information, what is the best decision? What is the EMV? If perfect information is available, what is the EVPI? .
The Managing Director of a company is deciding whether to build a large or small additional production facility to ensure that the company has sufficient operating capacity to satisfy current and future sales demand. In consultation with the company’s senior management accountant, the following two possible scenarios in terms of the net present value of future cash flows from the alternatives are being considered. Possible Outcome Low Demand High Demand Action Build small facility £700,000 £520,000 Build large facility £420,000...
Quantitative methods, IUL 2020 Part 3: (Expectation) XY industry wants to build a plant, it has to take the decision of building either a large or small plant. The building cost of a large plant is $2.1 million, and a small one will cost only $1.1 million. The XY industry experience provides a probability estimate of demand to be high, moderate, or low for the next 10 years is given in this table: High Demand Moderate Demand Low Demand Probability...
Quantitative Methods (STAT-201) Q3 . A manager is deciding whether or not to build a small facility. Demand is uncertain and can be either at a high or low level. If the manager chooses a small facility and demand is low, the payoff is $30. If the manager chooses a small facility and demand is high, the payoff is $10. On the other hand, if the manager chooses a large facility and demand is low, the payoff is -$20, but...
please help answer the following 8 will give a great rating! ? thanks for your help!! (1) Matching: 1. Revenue 2. Fixed cost 3. Variable cost A. does not vary.

A manufacturer of designer jeans must decide whether to build a large factory or a small factory in a specific location. The profit per pair of jeans manufactured is estimated as $10. A small factory will incur an annual cost of $200,000, with a production capacity of 50,000 pairs of jeans per year. A large factory will incur an annual cost of $400,000, with a production capacity of 100,000 pairs of jeans per year. Four levels of manufacturing demand are...
