ABC Company is considering to select one of the 3 projects based on the risk (probability p) and costs: 1. Project 1: a.no modifications: p=.6, $400,000 b.slight modifications: p=.4, $500,000. 2. Project 2: a.Complex, p=.4, $600,000 b.Simple, p =.6, •with some revisions p=.7, $400,000 • with no revisions, p.=.3, $300,000 3. Project 3: a.Complex, p=.5, $400,000 b.Simple, p=.5, $600,000 Compute EMV for each option. Which option should be selected (the lowest cost)? Hint: Use Expected Monetary Value (EMV) in PPT Slide 38 to compute the costs.
