Youre managing a construction project. Theres a 30% chance thatweather will cause a three-day delay, costing $12,000. Theres also a20% chance that the price of your building materials will drop,which will save $5,000. Whats the total EMV for both of these?
A. $3,600
B. $1,000
C. $2,600
D. $4,600
The expected monetary value (or EMV) of the weather risk is the probability(30%) times the cost ($12,000), but dont forget that since its a risk, thatnumber should be negative. So its EMV is 30% x -$12,000 = -$3,600.
The building materials opportunity has an EMV of 20% x $5,000 = $1,000.Add them up and you get -$3,600 + $1,000 = -$2,600.
