Question

Use the following decision tree, but update the probabilities as follows:

Probability of Small Demand = 29%

Probability of Medium Demand = 36%

Probability of Large Demand = remaining probability

What is the expected monetary value of the best decision (in millions)?

Probability of Small Demand = 40%

Probability of Medium Demand = 26%

Probability of Large Demand = remaining probability

What is the expected value with perfect information (in millions)?

Explanation / Answer

Using the following decision tree, but update the probabilities as follows:

Probability of Small Demand = 29%

Probability of Medium Demand = 36%

Probability of Large Demand = 1 - 29% - 36% = 35%

Expected Monetary Value of Subcontract = 0.29*1+0.36*1.3+0.35*MAX(1.5,1.6,1.8) = 1.388

Expected Monetary Value of Expand = 0.29*MAX(0.7,1.5,1)+0.36*1.6+0.35*MAX(1.6,1.5,1.7) = 1.606

Expected Monetary Value of Build = 0.29*MAX(-0.9,1.4,1)+0.36*MAX(1,1.1,0.9)+0.35*2.4 = 1.642

EMV of Buils is the maximum.

Expected monetary value of the best decision (in millions) = 1.642

____________________________________________

Probability of Small Demand = 40%

Probability of Medium Demand = 26%

Probability of Large Demand = 1 - 40% - 26% = 34%

Expected Monetary Value of Subcontract = 0.40*1+0.26*1.3+0.34*MAX(1.5,1.6,1.8) = 1.35

Expected Monetary Value of Expand = 0.40*MAX(0.7,1.5,1)+0.26*1.6+0.34*MAX(1.6,1.5,1.7) = 1.594

Expected Monetary Value of Build = 0.40*MAX(-0.9,1.4,1)+0.26*MAX(1,1.1,0.9)+0.34*2.4 = 1.662

Max EMV or EV(w/o)PI = MAX(1.35,1.594,1.662) = 1.662

Expected Value WITH Perfect Information (EVwPI) = 0.40*1.5+0.26*1.6+0.34*2.4 = 1.832

Expected Value OF Perfect Information EVPI = EVwPI - EV(w/o)PI = 1.832 - 1.662 = 0.17
