Expected Values in Book Sales Jessica, an educational publisher representative, presently has five accounts, and her manager is considering assigning her three additional accounts. The new accounts would bring potential volume to her business, and some of her present accounts have potential for growth as well. See the accompanying table.
Use the preceding table to work Exercises 31-35.
If Jessica achieved her expected additional volume in all accounts, what would be the total volume of all her accounts?

(a) The monthly returns on two securities A and B are both known to be normally distributed, with the following parameters:
Security Expected monthly Return, E(Ri) Standard Deviations of monthly Return, SD(Ri)A 3% 4%B 2% 3%
Correlation between monthly returns: corr(RA, RB) = rAB = 0.3
An investor intends to create an equally-weighted portfolio by investing equal amounts in securities A and B at the start of each month.
(i) What is the probability that the monthly return on security A is negative?
(ii) What are the expected monthly return and the standard deviation of the monthly return on the equally-weighted portfolio?
(iii) What is the probability that the monthly return on the equally-weighted portfolio is negative?

Hoping to diversify suppliers, a manufacturer buys the same component from three sources, with 24% of the components from vendor A, 39% from vendor B, and 37% from vendor C. Based on past experience, the manufacturer expects that vendors A, B, and C will produce defective components at a rate of 1.5%, 1.2%, and 1.8%, respectively. What is the expected proportion of defective components in the manufacturer’s stock?

State of Nature Decision Alternative Strong Demand S1 Weak Demand S2 Small complex, d1 9 8 Medium complex, d2 13 3 Large complex, d3 19 -9 Suppose PDC is optimistic about the potential for the luxury high-rise condominium complex and that this optimism leads to an initial subjective probability assessment of 0.8 that demand will be strong (S1) and a corresponding probability of 0.2 that demand will be weak (S2). Assume the decision alternative to build the large condominium complex was found to be optimal using the expected value approach. Also, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for the payoffs associated with this decision alternative. It was found that the large complex remained optimal as long as the payoff for the strong demand was greater than or equal to $16 million and as long as the payoff for the weak demand was greater…arrow_forwardThe following is a payoff table giving profits for various situations. state 1 state 2 state 3 probability 0.4 0.35 0.25 alternative 1 45 37 83 alternative 2 16 59 72 alternative 3 23 65 91 alternative 4 44 33 55 What is the expected value of perfect information?arrow_forwardIndicate whether the following are true or false.

The payoffs depending on market share for the two decision alternatives is given below: Market Share Investment Level < 1% 1% - 4% > 4% Low 300,000 400,000 500,000 High -400,000 300,000 3,000,000 The probability for a market share less than 1% is 0.3 and the probability for a market share more than 4% is 0.2. a) To minimize the maximum regret, which investment level should the department choose? b) To maximize expected values, which investment level should the department choose? c) What is the maximum amount the department should spend to get more information about the possible market share?arrow_forwardA company is facing three types of decisions for the purchasing of a seasonal product. The profitprojection may depend on the demand level. The payoffs for the situations are given in the followingtable:DemandDecision High (s1) Medium (s2) Low (s3)d1 60 60 50d2 80 80 30d3 100 70 101. If the prior probabilities are 0.3, 0.3, and 0.4, respectively, what is the recommended decision?Show all the calculations and answer with a decision tree.2. At each preseason sales meeting, the vice president of sales provides a personal opinion regarding potential demand for the product. The prediction of the vice president have alwaysbeen either excellent (E) or very good (G). Posterior probabilities are as follows.P(V)=0.7; P(E)=0.3P(s1|E)=0.34; P(s1|V)=0.2P(s2|E)=0.32; P(s2|V)=0.26;Use a decision tree to give the optimal decision strategy.43. Give the EVPI and the EOL, and EVSI.4. Suppose that the prior probability of a low demand is always fixed to 0.4, give a sensitivityanalysis on the other…arrow_forwardYear U.S. Gov’t T-Bills U.K. Common Stocks 2015 0.063 0.150 2016 0.081 0.043 2017 0.076 0.374 2018 0.090 0.192 2019 0.085 0.106 a.

The numbers for each present discount are shown in the table. Present Discount Number of Each type of discount Available 60% 50 50% 25000 30% 50000 10% 500,000 Determine the expected percent discount. Question 6: An examination consists of 50 multiple-choice items, each with 4 possible answers. what is the probability of guessing 25 or more correct answers? Question 7: A. bank found that 25% of its loans to new small business become delinquent. Ten small business are selected randomly from the bank's files. a) what is probability that three of them are delinquent? b) what is the probability that at least three of them are delinquent? c) what is the expected delinquency?
