Explanation / Answer

EMV for each of the alternatives can be given by

Alternative 1

8000*0.4 + 36000*0.6 = 3200 + 21600 = 24800

Alternative 2

4000*0.4 + 38000*0.6 = 1600 + 22800 = 24400

Alternative 3

-2500*0.4 + 50000*0.6 = -1000 + 30000 = 29000

a) The alternative that provides Robert with greatest expected monetary value is Alternative 3

The EMV of that decision is $29,000

b) In order to calculate the expected value with the perfect information we choose the best alternative for each probability. So we have,

8000*0.4 + 50000*0.6 = 3200 + 30000 = 33200

This is the EVwPI

c) Now that we have EVwPI, in order to calculate EVPI or expected value of the perfect information we need to subtract max EMV from EVwPI. Our maximum EMV is 29000 and EVwPI is 33200 so,

EVPI = 33200-29000 = 4200

This is the expected value of perfect information
