EV and variance-1.4 You are looking at two firms as an investment opportunity: • For the first firm, you know that with probability 0.7, your investment will mature to a profit of $60 million, and with probability 0.3, your investment will mature to a loss of $40 million. • For the second firm, you know that with probability 0.9, your investment will mature to a profit of $40 million, and with probability 0.1, your investment will mature to a loss of $10 million. (a) Calculate the EV of each investment. (b) Calculate the variance of each investment. (c) If you had the opportunity to invest in only one of these firms, which would you pick, and why?

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
