Question

Let us assume that you have two possible mutually exclusive projects available and you need to choose one of the projects. For both projects, three possible results may occur. Possible profits in thousand € (Ri) and the related probabilities (Pi) are shown in the table below.

1-Expected profit of project A is higher than the expected profit of project B that is why we will undoubtedly choose project A.

2-Risk rate of project A is higher compared to the risk rate of project B.

3-Expected profit of project B is 24 thousand €.

4-Risk rate of project A is negative because we can earn a negative profit with this project.
